Had a bit of problem over the weekend. My headlights stopped working!
Only my high beam flash function and (push forward high beams stay on worked). So no park lights or normal lights.

I checked the fuses etc but think it is in the headlight control stalk. When I turn the lights on the dashlights still work but not head lights. common problem? do I need to pull steering wheel off the get at contacts?

Are the globes blown..?
Maybe it's something silly like that.

Not that silly. Will check. Sometimes you forget to check the simple things and just assume they couldn't all go at once. So I will check to be sure. Thanks.

p.s My money is still on the stalk or colunm thought

hi
i had the same problem with my toyota. It end up being a dry joint on the light stalk. Have a look at that option if still having issues

It was the Globes, all four! Well the two park globes and the low beams in the outer headlights. Thinking may have got a voltage stike or something. Check the alternator 14.5 volt output. Drove around all xmas hols without a drama. Just don't understand how all globes could go at once :cry:
