Good evening chaps, en route home i noticed my passanger side headlight was not working, so when i got home i changed the bulb, it still was not working after i had changed it so i thought i would try the one that does work, so removed that one and swapped them over. It still did not work after this so i put the bulbs back how they were and now neither work.

make sure you have the radio code and disconnect the battery for a bit. body controll module may be having a fit. also test the wires to the lights with power on and see what they show. also, check the holders are making contact correctly and test the bulbs with a battery yourself. from that you can start to decide whats playing up. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

and finally, if the headlights are controlled on a stalk like the indicators, there shit. there will be about 8 orange single core (brittle) wires which have to move each time the switch moves. and they always brake. easy enough to dismantle and fix. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Mate had a similar problem with cheapo bulbs, his headlights did all sorts of funny shit, told him it's got to be the bulbs after some head scratching, and I was right. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Just for future reference - many new cars will need the BCM reprogramming (dealer only) after a bulb change to make it work! For those of us in the trade - it keeps food on our table but a bit of a bugger for Joe Public! On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:
