Lights

Dipped beam and sidelights work,main beam not,headlight flashers work,now headlights will not retract,is this usual damp in relays,pea soup weather /fog etc after weeks of dry weather up here,good time for it to happen as its mot time shortly

sounds like water in and around relays. See other recent threads on same issues

Headlights stuck up is not a problem for MOT test. Check the relays on the passenger side.

After a nightmare trying to access fuses and relays passenger foot well,found 4amp fuse blown headlamp control,10 amp was fitted?,disabled dim dip module by taking out fuse 34 ,2 amp and relay,now have to get spare fuses and see what happens once my back resets

Fuse blew as soon as I tried to retract headlights,I am getting retract relay and control module and see what happens then,at least headlights are up all the time and I have dipped and full headlights so it's in for mot next week

Now found cities lights are rusting ,is it possible to get locating pins off them and put them on new cibie units,you can still get ones that are left or right fitting,not sure if they come with pins or it was a lotus only fitting,I think there was a technical post on it , electrical drawing for headlamp retract relay is wrong,very strange as permanent 12v feed seems to be double fused

Classic mini was one user. Angus is working on a supply of 3 pinned units. We have a source but not the fitting. Alternatively switch to 7 inch crystals.

I have a sample here, and a couple of possibilities for bulbs. Just need to find some time to test it on my car.

Interesting. I am just preparing for the Wipac Crystal conversion having put LEDs in almost everything else. I shall wait with interest.

Stand down. The mounts look right, but one of them is offset so they won't fit
