Right.. So I replaced my fuse box since a couple of terminals weren't working and all that.. Decided I might as well just get a whole new fuse box.

Anyway, I transferred everything over from the old fuse box to the new. Everything seems to be working fine except the lights.

I don't have:
- sidelights
- headlights
- high beam
- rear lights
- numberplate lights
- lights on dash
- blue light when flashing high beam

What a mess! Indicators work and that though..

Can anyone suggest a solution?

What colours are the headlight wires, and what fuse should they be connected to!?

Cheers!

All the lights are fed by one brown wire except from the high beam flash, so it is most likely a problem with either the feed or the switch, for the high beam warning light not to be working but the high beam flash to be working, it must be a problem between the join on the high beam feed wire and the earth for the warning light

No I the normal head lights are not fused and the others are on different fuses (cant remember which) the fuses under the scuttle are for the hazards/ interior light and I think the other is for the rear fog. the problem will lie else where either with the switch or feed

maybe this can help some, sounds like a fuse or lighting switch to me.

What car are we talking about ? as the fuses boxes are totally different. look in the faqs Electrical section its all there what fuses does what, the later cars with the blade fuse box did fuse the headlights the earlier car did not.http://www.theminifo...s-covered-data/
