A31 Headlight Problems

[A14Force]

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.

sounds like a bad contact in the switch, best to try a known working switch to see if that is the prob or not.

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.

lol for digging up old threads, I would have said that the fog light bulbs are probably blown, or bad terminal connection on the back of the bulb.
