So... Just got home obviously with my lights on. And tried to turn them off when I parked up. Car was having none of it. My main headlights will not turn off. All other lights inc rears and sides are off.

Solution??
I don't touch fuses btw ever since I spiked my ECU and it cost £1000 to get fixed.

I know I've not been on here in a while and here I am crawling back back when I've got a problem and all that crap. But help please Sad

P.S. Temporary solution - disconnected the battery

i would rather unplug the headlights than the battery as you will mess up the bsi as the it will not be shut down in the correct way.

If the headlights passed through the BSI on a pre plexed, you'd probably be right, but they don't.

It's more likely to be the switch.

Fuse 10 (40A) under the bonnet is a simple way to turn them off. The headlights (dipped and main) are the only thing passing through it so you should be alright pulling it.

No it won't because it's pre plexed. It'll be fine. I've done this plenty of times before. DOH!!!

I am the retard?

The switch didn't work. I wiggled a wire in my H4/H7 adaptor and they went off. They now work properly Very Happy Rock Onnnnn..

UPDATE: Drove 10 miles... When I got there, they wouldn't turn off again... Opened the bonnet and wiggled the green block that on my H4/H7 adaptor and they went off.

What is that bit? Don't think it's a loose wire because I wiggled all the wires and it did nothing... Gave a dropped it and they went off ?! WTF?!
