On mine the full beam needs a pernament feed from the battery check the connection of that because i had an issue with full beam and it turned out to be a broken crimp on this cable.

Check also the relay and the fuse which should be on the relay, or in the lead between relay and battery +ve.

Just had the exact same issue, had a broken crimp on the supply cable in one of the 2 relays that are in the passenger side lamp, had every thing working except heads !

Also have a look at the wiring connector on the back of the bulb

I have prodrive headlights fitted from new, over the years the plastic surrounding one of the connectors has melted and was stopping from the headlight working

Just break off the melted plastic connector, and clean up the metal parts with sandpaper to remove any plastic

On the morettes there is a couple of extra relays fitted in the light housing and they are not well insulated. It is a regular problem for them to corrode. Pop the lights off and have a look and it wouldn't surprise me if that was your problem

Im having trouble getting my headlights to "flash" or stay on "high beam" Ive replaced the relays and its now bought me to this stage

If i have the head lights on as normal if your driving threw town at night time this is how my lights are

Passenger side



Driver side



If i flick the "high beam" on this is what happens



Now im thinking the high beam and normal beam are the opposite way round as it would appear. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do. Ive checked the wiring on both sides and they appear to be identical

Please help someone
