Have you tried cleaning the pins on the plug-in socket to that light unit?

cant believe its a light unit that has failed, would put money on it being the connector between chassis and clam

Thats exactly whats happened to mine - the wire going into the back of the connector plug has corroded and come loose, so I've orderd new waterproof units. I fugire if one has corroded, the others wont be far behind!

Check and clean the fuses to the head lights,fuses 3 to 6 from memory.
They are directly under where the air con pipes drip condensation onto the fuse and relay board.
