Bulbs been changed but hasn't fixed it on my Tamora. Been told it could be that it is 'earthed out' and this is why one headlight is fine but the other is only working at half beam or so.

Any ideas on what to check and how? Happened to anyone else's?

Have you got one of these?

Without one you'll be "going round in circles"

Can you PM me your Reg please. I do the Tamora register and would like to see if I have yours. Tried emailing you but says you don't accept emails.
Cheers, Gary

Even if I did have a tester which I will buy now; I would not know where to start testing. Any ideas. Sorry, or is the simple answer to get someone in who knows about motor electrics.

I had headlight problems (albeit both not one) on my Tamora a year or so back. The circuit board behind the dash had some dry joints and this was the cause. Needed some fresh solder.

Having said this a single headlamp is perhaps likely to be some form of earthing fault.

Best of luck tracking it down.

I'm guessing it just easier to get an auto electrician out then?
