A31 Headlight Problems

Here's my problem. My headlights don't work when the switch is in the plain old "on" position. But they work in the "auto" position. (when it's dark enough of course) What's the most likely cause of this? All my fuses are sweet. Could it be a fault with the switch? It's a real pain in the arse. When I'm under a street light, they have a bad habit of turning off.

Also, how do I turn on the yellow driving lights? Nothing seems to make them work.

Headlights... Hmmm, clean connector into back of headlight with connector clean... Then, if all fuses work, check behind you dash and your at the terminals making sure they are also connected.

Foglights... there should be a switch on the right of the steering wheel next to the side mirror adjuster. Get back to me if presing that button doesn't work.

That switch makes my park lights come on. If I have the switch on the colomn on high beam (The twist one, not the dipswitch) and press that button, the headlights go onto dip. (No fog lights though) The plugs on the back of the headlights are all good. When I got the car it had suffered a frontal, so I had all that apart when It was on the chasis plant.

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
