    Thank you if you search on Facebook modified lights UK he make some mint lights these are custom built from him:)

  • Both dip/main not working would usually suggest an earth problem but if you say there is nothing at the other wires it can't be.

  • Ah that is run by a briskoda member called @hutchysrs50  Good guy!

The dip and main go through a bulkhead disconnect a 12 pin white connector Dip pin 1 Main pin 3 (pass headlight) & Dip pin 2 Main pin 4 (drivers headlight)

Thank you we’re is the 12 pin connector?

I like your DRLs by the way!

it just says "multi-pin connector at the front wall"

there is only two white connectors on it and the other one has 11 pins

I did tried to find these earlier today and can’t find them, I thought if the fuse hasn’t gone then follow the wires back to this but couldn’t get to it

Ok it says there are two variants but both require the wiper motor to be removed to access them

I’m confused we’re does it say this do you have the haynes book? I don’t have the wipers on mine, are the connectors in the dash somewhere?

He means the windscreen wiper motor because the connector will be at the bulkhead.

This is from Elsawin basically a copy of the dealer manuals

Unreal build quality such good lights just yet to get to see them fully working 

Okay don’t know if I’m being stupid but would that be under the scuttle panel?

Bulkhead connectors look like this (pics courtesy of Wino)...

Right! Now we’re talking I couldn’t work out where anyone was meaning, I’ll be checking in here tomorrow, so fingers crossed there will be a blown wire in here or something along those lines

Yes you were right - it's all under the scuttle panel.

I would leave the bulkhead until you tried everything else first.

Thnsk to both of you for your help I’ll be trying the wire trick first then if that doesn’t work I’ll probably be working on the bulkhead box then

If it was me I'd just run a new wire to bypass the break. Otherwise you are going to have to find exactly where the break is.

 

You could do the same wire test for the main beam from fuse 30 but the main beam bulb is different (H3) and only has a single spade connection.

Where exactly would I run the new wires from?
