Thought i would test my headlights this morning make sure they all work, wired them in, however the only light i cant get to work is the dipped beam,
I have wired in the positive wire and earthed both lights, but no joy
Any ideas? been few years since i put my last pair on!
thanks

If you want I can take a picture of mine later, I had a bit of trouble wiring them back in after taking them off to tint them Saturday as I didn't take any notice of which wire went where

Check the wiring of the morettes is the same as the one posted by Chris (CD) on here in the howto or faq section. Sounds like the wiring might be out.
Also sometimes the spade connection things need cleaning from any crap on it.

Should be on a small bolt directly behind the light as far as I remember, is that where you placed it afterwards?
