    Hi All,

    Replaced a bulb this morning in the FREEZING COLD !! But no joy, still no light from it. It's not a faulty bulb, as I tried it on the other light.

    I'm assuming it would be a straight forward problem?! Any ideas?!

    Headlight - H7 Bulb - Peugeot 206 (2004) - Drivers side.

    Thanks for any help

    Did you check all fuses? If so, then check that the bulb is connected properly and theres no damage to the wires/corrosion on the connector.
    Do you have a multi-meter or a way to test if theres power coming down to the bulb?

    That shows my ignorance! I just presumed both lights would be under one fuse, having just checked a diagram it seems they aren't! Will check that now!

    Have checked the fuses and all good there :mad:

    I'm not 100% on checking power to the bulb - damn fog coming down here, hate driving on one light

    Well if your sure the fuses and the bulb are fine then the next step would be to check the condition of the connection and make sure theres no corrosion/moisture there, and check for power at the connection. If your unable to check for power there then I'm afraid you may need to take a trip to the local garage. In the meantime if you have front fogs then I'd suggest using them until you get it sorted.

    Check relays too, if applicable. I don't know your car, but often located near fuses.

    Thanks for your help guys - I've had a good look at wiring etc and all looks perfect. Suppose bringing it in is the only option! Don't like doing it for something small.
