My 180 is getting sold on friday, last night I got pulled by police for having a light out, so I went to change the bulb, and it was working fine, but I changed it anyway. Worked fine when I texted it. Today, driving to work, the light was out again ? I checked the bulb and it was fine. Bassically my dipped beam works when it feels like it. Any ideas on this ?
I think it could be a loose earth connection ?
Has anybody elce had this problem before ?
Thanks for the help in advance

which light is it?.... side light holder can corrode giving a poor connection on the bulb. Disconnect and clean the contacts with a small screwdriver. Make sure all lights are off before you do it though

loose/dirty connection
clean all the connections for the lights with contact cleaner or similar and push them all tightly together should be fine then
