Just noticed that my headlight (right side) is not working.

However when I put the lights on full beam, it works!!

Checked the fuses, all seem fine.

Funny thing is when I take out the fuse number 27 in the engine compartment for the right headlight it works, although not at bright as it should be.

Put the fuse back in and the bulbs on the right headlight go out!!

It would have been a simple fix if the fuse had gone or the bulbs were broken, but now I am totally puzzled on how to fix the problem.

Normal beam, only the left headlight works, full beam, they both work!!

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance....

 

earth ?

 

Is this on a classic? If so, the standard headlight bulbs are twin filament, one for dip, one for main beam. It's possible the dip filament is broken.

When you start removing fuses with the engine running, you can get odd things happening, like the headlight coming on dim, due to a por earth return path.

I'd check the bulb by putting in the one from the other side, first.
