    Someone else might be able to confirm this (or not).

    Left light works fine, so don't think it's a fuse.

    I think there are four fuses, one for high and one for low for each light.
    So if one light is working it does not mean the other will.

    I found this, it may help with what I mean

    Harro is on the money there: separate fuses for Hi and Lo, left and right, so 4 x fuses.

    That caught me out this month, and I replaced a LHS H4 globe for nothing.



    (Well actually not for nothing, I upgraded to one of the new H4 Nightbreaker jobbies)

    Glass fuse was buggered. Job should have taken 30 seconds not half an hour to strip the headlight out and replace.

    Thanks for the heads-up. Offending blown fuse replaced and all is good in the world again

    I had the same issue (no low beam, but had high beam) on my way from Rosedale to Traralgon at about 10pm a few months ago.
    The issue was (I found and corrected it) that a wire soldered to the left side light switch on the steering wheel, had broken away from its connection. I had to undo the shroud behind the steering wheel, bring out my soldering iron and re-solder the wire to the indicator arm. I need to re-do the wire as it is now quite short and moves a lot at the solder joint when the steering wheel is turned.
