Hi guys

in my gto3

Left headlight appears to have gone. However 'flashing' (cant remember if thats dipped or high) works. Sidelight is fine.

Changed bulb, checked fuses and dont think it can be relay as the right side works. Cleaned contacts too.

Any thoughts

cheers

Check that a pin hasn't receded in any of the plugs. If all ok, broken wire probably in the area where the loom bends when the clam is opened/closed.

thanks rob - turns it was the block connector wasnt seated enough, probably all the kerbs at brands! Anyway it was good to take all the lights apart as it was a hood excuse to replace all the rusted screws and bolts!

Was going to suggest connector. Mine went years ago but was broken and needed a new earth point.
