My side lights (leaver half way) work fine, but my headlights (leaver all the way forward) don't...high beam or dip it doesn't matter.
I've checked all fuses including those in secondary fuse box under drivers seat.......
any ideas?
Defender 110, TD5 Extreme...
Thanks,
Martin

I think the old rovers dis but if its a new defender I would say its got relays in there somewhere. Have you checked these?
edit* thats provided they use relays or whatever.

Hi Stuee,
I swapped over the light relay with another one, (heater maybe, can't remember), both yellow, rated the same I think.......but no joy
There are relays under the front seat too....near the secondary fuse box........but I don't know what they are for.......there's 3 of them.

Mate I've got a disco and even reading my service manual I would probably have trouble with this sort of thing. Relays in my car are spread over about 6 locations
. Best thing to do with land rovers is replace the whole wiring loom
.
In all seriousness the haynes manual does go into a bit of detail about how to find the relays and stuff. If you can get access to one it should be help in fixing your problem.

are you getting continuity thru the relay switch and lights?
