Hi there, can anybody help me out, the nearside dipped headlight failed on my 3r so checked the bulb but was fine, wiring back to first clam connection plug also seems to be fine, according to my meter failure is somewhere between connection block and fuse box (i assume) Does anyone know which fuse is for the nearside headlight. 1 have checked all those in the footwell and they seem ok but i will replace the relevant fuse anyway just in case once i know which one it is.

Any other clues? for time being i have wired both dipped lights together but am keen to get this sorted.

I did have dodgy battery connection just before, total electrical failure from loose battery lead, might this have something to do with it?

Any ideas gratefully received.

Bruce

Fuse 3 ... 10 Amp... the one third in from the left above the relays in the footwell. Just replace it and make sure the holders are clean as we all know they get corroded etc.
