I'm asking again for advice before I give up I've got no dipped headlights. I have full beam, side lights. I've today replaced the switch with new one from Porsche I've previously changed fuses, bulbs, I've dismantled stearing wheel to examine stalks and mechanism underneath but still no dipped headlights!!!  Any further ideas before I reluctantly give in and take it to car electric specialist. So frustrated !!! |

Years ago spent ages tracing a light fault, eventually found BOTH bulbs had blown GRRR, Check the feed from the light switch, the design is poor as all the headlight current goes through the switch. Just a thought it hasn't go dim - dip installed has it, if so check the module & relay. |

Have you checked the cables that feed the bulbs?They flex with the headlights raising/lowering and its not unheard of for them to fracture and oxidise thus breaking the current path to the bulbs.Had it on a main beam circuit on mine. Toby |

Had exactly the same problem as Jim both dips failed at the same time. Now running Woodypecks leds, brilliant. |
