Golf Mk3 headlight issues.

[Liquid Knight]

First and foremost the passenger side headlight is geof'd and needs to be replaced. The usual VW broken reflector mounts wobble vision.

The more concerning issue is the lack of main beam.

I have the headlights on dip and use the lever for main but nothing happens apart from the blue light on the dash comes on.

Turn the headlights off and pull the lever to flash main and dip flashes instead.

All four headlight bulbs are fine, all four fuses are okay, I can not tell if there is a relay missing or knackered. They all appear to be present and correct. I have no qualms with ripping the loom out and wiring the main beam to a remote relay in the engine bay (like after market driving lights) but saving that for a last resort.

The Golf is from this...

Any ideas?

Don't worry the car is sold now, warts and all.

Conclusion? It's a Golf and Golfs are nowhere near as good as people make them out to be.
