Full Beam Mystery

[jims2]

Not sure why garage didn't pick this up during earlier MOT fail for the wheel
bearing but was doing a quick check prior to taking back for a retest and noticed
this.
Headlamps and side lights working fine until i go to full beam then NS headlight
just goes off and only sidelight working. Soon as i switch off full beam both
headlights are fine. Anyone seen this before, any ideas ?

thanks Jim

Thanks. Found 3 connectors in this area no idea what 2 of them were doing. I cut them
all out and renewed and everything is fine now.

Had this problem with my connectors, I had a 5 pin and a 2 pin connector. The 2 pin was the indicators and the 5 pin was main beam, dipped beam, sidelight and 2 earths. I replaced them into a 6 pin waterproof connector. No idea what your 3 connector is though!

The 3 pin will be the fog/spot lights i guess think i have the connector but sadly no lights.
