Right Hand Headlight Wont Turn On

[Corsta]

hey guys,

Got a new headlight put in and for a while it was real dodgy, it would turn off then i'd open the bonnet, move around the wiring it would turn back on, now it wont turn on what so ever, the globes are fine, the wirings fine, everything as i see it is fine.

Sounds like a wiring issue though if it turned on when you wiggled the wire?

Well your wiring is obviously NOT fine. Could be a dirty plug, could be loose wires. You can use multimeter to trace back to the point where the fault is occuring if you have one.

Im not a fan of the wiring on my r33

Each light from parker to low/high beam dont have a adaptor like normal cars

so each pin on the light has its own wire just hanging on check and see if there secured properly

if not just use pointy nose pliers to close up so tight fit again

had this problem before, in my case we took it to an auto elec ended up changing the switch in the car and it worked. not cheap though!

On the R32 at least, I found that you can pull apart the light switch and stretch the springs out to give better contact (had a non lighting headlight every once in a blue moon)

How hard is it to pull apart the light switch?
