Hi

 

Try un-plugging and re=plugging all the bullet connections at the front on the loom for the headlamp and side lights

 

Could be an earth issue too - always very common

Probably been answered somewhere before, but I have noticed my headlights (and sides) have stopped working. Checked the inline fuse, but all is ok. Am I missing something, as this was a sudden fault - they have all been working before?

Don’t know what year car you have but besides the bullet connectors mentioned which is a common area for problems so Mini’s have 4 in-line fuses behind the dash just above the steering wheel bracket/pedal box area that are for the headlights

Only 1990 to 1996 cars, probably pre spi

I have a 1993 sprite and a 93 Italian job and both these looms have the 4 fuses here
