    Question Lights out!

    Just changed the headlights over from right-hand drive to left-hand drive. Not to difficult to do, but now i have no low or high beam, sidelights still work. Checked fuses, and bulbs, all ok, Any suggestions appreciated. '96 850.

    Cheers.

    Did you just swap the headlights or did you swap the bulbs as well?. Try fitting your old bulbs from you RHD headlights, if they work then youve got two knackered bulbs to replace.

    Seems obvious but maybe you overlooked it.

    TC, it could be as simple as that, but i can't get any new bulbs till the morning. Seems a little odd that all four should go. I made sure i didn't touch them aswell!
