I have a 2011 6R. Passenger side main headlight bulb stopped working (all other bulbs, lights and indicators working). Changed the bulb, still not working. Checked all of the fuses are OK under the steering column and still not working .... I'm stumped now. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this or how to fix this?
Thanks

No warning light. I thought it may be something to to with the DRL's , but I can't see what if anything that would cause.

Re: Help - Headlight unit electrical problems
Not an earthing problem if other bulbs working. Check if there is power to the socket. Possibly corroded wiring connectors?
Re: Help - Headlight unit electrical problems
Is there are connectors that could be the usual subjects I should check first, or is it going to a loooong check of everything I can find or even worse... going to a garage and letting them fault find?

Re: Help - Headlight unit electrical problems
You really need a multi meter to check which side of the connection - +12V or earth is missing.
