hi just got my car back from getting a new head and the head lights dont work. the rear lights work its just the head lights.
ive checked the:-
-bullet connections for headlights (cleaned)
-fuses
-bulbs
-spade connectors on the sealed lights (cleaned)

i dont know where the headlight earth is but i've checked the earth point next to the windscreen washer bottle.

the wierd thing is that my rear lights and dial lights work but the blue light above the fuel and temp gauge (full beam indicator) is always on when the sidelights and dipped lights switch is on. i can only flash my main beams

And if i have the fog light switch on, ignition turned off and side light switch on they work but as soon as i turn the ignition on they go out and the same happens when i switch the fog light switch off.

if you understood that please help as i cant drive at night.

and also my interior light and hazards dont work!! ive checked the fuse.

many thanks

sounds like a dodgy earth or a broken wire some where, use a volt meter and check you have power at your fues block, light switch then headlights process of elimination i reckon.
