I'm assuming the HE is the Ident.

My Miggy seems to be a not-too-common build, it was registered march 99, so pretty much just before the facelift was released mine had/has the traffic master installed and had a non bose CCRT700 Radio dunno if that lot has anything to do with this problem but it might help those in the know to identify and help me.

would it help if i put my chassis number on here? or would that not be advisable?

yes and they don't, I may have broke it when I took it apart to find the original fault after I put the replacement switch in, although I didn't really do anything inside the switch just pulled it apart and had a look then reassembled it, but no, they don't work with the replacement switch or the original one :(

He is right - BUT, Elites from 98 MY onwards did have HID's, so that means that it must be a pre '97 Elite - which is where my headlight came from.  :(

Nope.

This has to be something really really silly like a broken wire somewhere.

What else have you done to the car recently?

Pin 58d supplies the dimmed instrument panel feed to the lights. You could try removing the light switch and then (very carefully and via a fuse) feed 12v into that pin (which should cause the panel lights to come on.

Depends how comfortable you are with electrics I guess?  :'(

only things that have been done that would affect the lighting is changed all the climate bulbs and fitted an after market sony Head unit, which is currently out to eliminate that being the cause. and changed the light switch.

I'm ok with electrics usually providing the circuit is fused but this has stumped me completely.

Cheers mate, I may well do that, it's a bit of a trek for me atm but considering that I've spent about £60 - £70 on this and still not cured it...

Try disconnecting the climate panel and see what happens.

Were the bulbs replaced with LEDs possibly?
