re main beam

[Wilder]

I was driving home today just as it was going dark, when I went over a small bump in the road,( nothing to note really) when the main beam on both sides went off. The side lights and high beam are working but no main beam.
I dont know where the fuses are, or indeed whether it is likely to be the fuse , a switch or anything else. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

LHS front side pod. Accessed under front clip, behind ali plate.

Fuses first, then relay.

Thanks Peter, will do that tomorrow.
Took the TVR boys out today in the car & frightened them silly!

I have had problems in the past where the high/low beam relay fails to latch.
Ended up dismantling the relay to make a small adjustment to the contacts.

Thanks Steve, I need to get this sorted so all ideas gratefully received.

That relay is a real pain, and needs to be changed for a electronic version..
I went right to the source and asked about pricing, and guess what there $3 each and made in Mexico.....

Kind of explains the problems....

This happened to me on the way back from Le Mans. It was the fuse. Kind of surprised that one fuse feds both headlights but that's how it is on my car.

Yes mine was also the 10 amp fuse -replaced and its now working --just glad it was the easiest fix possible. TX for the advice chaps.
