Bulb/headlight issue
« on: January 08, 2016, 11:03:52 am »
... Right I have recently shorted my car (a 5p piece fell down the lighter socket) and ever since then my headlights have played up

I now have no parking lights either side and no main beam on the right hand side (this is from sitting in the car)

I changed out a fuse as I had no dipped on the right side which has rectified that but still no main ?? .... Really not clued up on electronics at the best of times

Any help would be  appreciated  :happy2:

Possibly the coin has blown either a fuse or the bulbs.
This link has fuse locations:

If none of fuses are blown check whether you are getting any voltage at the bulb. If yes and no light then bulb has blown.
