[not technical]

jUST WENT OUT TONITE AND FOUND MY PASSENGER HEAD LIGHT NOT WORKING AT ALL SIDE OR MAIN BEEM CHECKED THE FUSES BUT THERE ARE ALL OK ANY IDEA'S?

[ians]

Check the bulb to start with.  There is a proceedure in the car manual to remove it.

the one with the battery blocking the back of the lamp!!

if not bulbs, check the wires have not come loose

just out of curiosity, can the bulbs be changed on the nearside without having to disconnect and remove the battery?

I thought they could - you have to remove the triangular bit of plastic on top.

bloody hope so havent needed to on mine yet

A little unusual to have Dipped, Main, and sidelight bulbs all go at once,
on the same side.  :-/

I believe all 3 bulbs have a separate feed, yes?
Not needed to have mine apart yet. So if anyone has, do these 3 bulbs
all have a common Earth point?
If so, I would be tempted to check the earthing point.

If all OK. I would remove fuses 21, 22 and 23 and check that I'm getting
a 12V positive feed to each fuse when selected on the lighting switch.

If the Earth and Feed circuits are OK, I would then check for a common
cable connector break between the fuses and the headlamp unit.

Yes you can. All you need to do is loosen the battery clamp (13mm socket) and push the battery towards the windscreen retighten and remove the triangular plastic rad cover put your hand behind the headlight and remove the rubber dust cover, then change which ever bulb you need to change.

It could just be the conector plug that goes into the back of the lamp not conected properly. (i had the same problem after changing my lights and not making sure i pushed it in). Worth a check
