Actually, they are the ones you should use when parked

Back to the question, silly answer but have you checked to see if the bulbs have blown? It is common for one dip beam bulb to fail shortly after the other.......

Bugeye Morette has separate bulbs for park light, dip and main beam.

Slightly unusual but not unheard of for bulbs to fail in six months or so, particularly if someone has fitted higher wattage bulbs.

ACTUALLY no i don't think a bulb has gone

i think something else is wrong ...why???


well when you turn the light lever once ! the side lights come on ...

when you push or pull the beam (flash ) lights come on


if you turn the lever twice the night lights should come on !!!well the beam lights come on instead!!!!
if the bulbs have gone shouldn't it just be none working????




answers on a postcard to the usual address please

Question

Suggest you take a look at your connections/wiring.
Did it ever work properly? Are you sure? Who installed the kit? Who did the wiring? Do you still have the original wiring diagram from the kit? If so, check that the connections are as they should be.
If not, someone on here might e-mail you one if you post again and ask.
What part of the country are you in?
If all else fails, auto-electrician...................
