First problem i have had in the clio, the dipped beam wont work, have replaced fuses and bulbs, the high beam and sidelights still work though, having to drive with full beam angled at the floor atm *oh well*.

Any ideas?

Humm possibly, no idea where it would be lol, its seems odd to me as the side light power source is off the dipped beam.

The green dipped beams light it still on the dash if that helps.

It will be in the stalk.

For the moment swop over the high and low live at the bulb spade connections.

You will then have a dip beam on high. with a nice blue light to irritate you from the dash.
Then when you have the time, you can take the steering wheel off, airbag off, dismantle the stalk and turn around the burnt out two way terminal which acts as a bridge for hi/low.
Sometimes it is only corrosion.
Kind regards

Because if i wanted a thousand post about how to convert to hid lights and a big bore exhaust i would, i have not found the cliosport forum particually helpful. As alot of guys are techs and work with alot of different cars on her i thought it maybe worth a shot, so far has been more helpful for me.

So far i have found power to the fuse box when turning the lights to dipped on, have power to the dipped as its the same feed to the side lights but not got any further due to work. Will update when i have more info.
