Default Morrete headlight faulthttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:bbs.scoobynet.com/get/im

Hi to all,
I hope someone out there can help, some time ago my left Morrete head light seemed to have a loose connection. The headlight would turn off, however when i knocked the headlight it would come back on. Since this my left headlight does not work at all, i have blown the left light a couple of times and have had to change the fuse many times. I have had a car sparky look at it and he said it was a ground problem and he resolved it. However when i checked the work he run in a ground from the body work direct to the headlight. It was this that blow the right head light. Anyway had this removed by another sparky who seemed to resolve the problem but again i then found a wire run in to the left head light, however this still has not resolved the problem because it is still blowing my left head light and now it’s not working at all. I have changed all relays, PS it appears to blow th3e fuses for the wing mirrors as well. Anyone got any ideas or can direct me to a trustworthy car sparky that wont rip me off for cowboy work?

Thanks for any help you could give.

Subarus use a permanent live and the earth is grounded via the switch gear.... reverse to old English cars, a good sparky would know that.
