Headlights not working 406 2.0 HDI

Unread post by ciaran15 »

I recently changed the offside headlight bulb, now both headlights are not working, no problem with any other lights.

I can still get full beam.

Any thoughts on the cause?

My guess you have blown a fuse - or messed up the dip beam lights cable somewhere. Not hard to do on modern cars.

For some obscure reason it turns out that both bulbs blew at the same time, I have been told that some dirt may have gotten into the cable when I replaced the bulb previously.
I have now replaced both bulbs and they are both working again.

Thanks for the replies.
