Ep2 main beam problem

[Sootay]

Hi guys looked all over the web but can't find anything answers so thought I would try my luck here before I go to see an electrician. By the way if someone can recommend a good auto electrician in the Manchester or Bristol area I would greatly appreciate it.

So the problem started a week ago when I realised my main beam on the passenger side stopped working. I took it out and tried 3 different bulbs including night breakers, but it is really dim. (My driver side bulb went a few days later too but I'm not sure if that's just a coincidence).

So all 3 bulbs (position, main and high) turn on as normal although the main is so dim I can barely see it on the road. But when I turn my high beams on the high beam bulb brighten up as normal but the main beam turns off.

Any one have any suggestions?

Thank you

Im sure there was a Honda recall for EP2's for something to do with headlights as there was a common fault with them failing.
Put your VIN in here and see if anything pops up....

Thanks for the suggestion, it says that there no active recall's when I put the VIN number in

Check fuses - a blown fuse can lead to dim / backfeeding headlamps.

As if I didn't check that earlier. I was thinking if it was blown then it wouldn't work altogether. Put the spare fuse in and it's working fine now. Also if anyone is considering the osram nightbreakers. They are exactly the same as these generic Bosch ones I picked up first which are half the price.

Thank you for your suggestion.
