Near side dipped beam not working, but bulb ok

Featured Replies

Hi all, the near side dipped beam isn't working this morning, but putting a new HID bulb in it didn't resolve the issue. I know the old bulb is ok, as I installed it in the drivers side as a test. 

I can't see anything wrong with the fitments and it all looks lovely and clean. There's been no work under the bonnet is dirupt anything either. I can't believe there is a buld for only the LH dipped beam, but prove me wrong. Any help gratefully appreciated.

Cheers, Ben

Sounds like faulty ballast on near side headlamp.  If the ballasts on both sides are same part numbers then maybe try swapping them around and see if the fault follows the near side ballast.

 

This may help

Wonderful, thanksDrCorbyLee :)

I had this same issue and it was the ballast, you can pick one up cheaply on eBay as it's a common part with many other cars. fitting is a bit involved as the headlight needs to come out so the front bumper needs removing.
