Title: Sidelight problem
Post by: megaomega123 on 11 September 2007, 13:11:01
My drivers side sidelight doesn't work. Works on full beam but not dipped. Have tried 3 different, known working bulbs, still no sidelight. There is no check bulb coming up on the MID either.

All the connections look intact and good.  Any ideas anybody?

does it work as a parking light?  (leave indicator in up / down position)

I had a sidelight I couldnt fix.....3 different HEADLIGHT bulbs I tried before someone pointed out my error  :-[

I is confused  ....  :-/

Is it the side light or the dipped headlight that is not working ???  They are TOTALLY different bulbs in different places !! (about 2 inches apart !! )

The inner bulb, which is dip and main or the knob turned to 1st position.

Still making no sense to me :(  I must be being thick today ..

On my mini-face lift with HID there are 2 bulbs there .. the side light bulb and the main beam bulb, the dipped lights are the HID projectors, so 3 bulbs in all,  side, dipped, main beam, all work when on main beam ... 2 work on dipped beam, only sidelight bulb at first position of switch, second position is main lights ?

No, it was me being thick, Sorry. I just found the smaller bulb next to the main beam bulb. It is out and ready for changing.

Sorry everyone, I should have looked more closely.
