Front light problem

Piriz

Hi all, im seeking help.
The front light bulb (large) does not work when switched on, however it does work when the fog/high beam is on. This problem is with one of the front lights only, the other works fine. Furthermore, the small bulb works when light is switched on. Please diagnose. Many thanks for any suggestions on what to fix..

Are all the headlights wired normally, or have there been changes from the factory? Like front spots connected to headlights or something. Sounds like bad wiring. Not something you're going to get fixed online!

hi, the car has not been modified in any way at all... there is no spot lights on this car either...

Your headlight bulb is a dual filament bulb, incorporating both dipped and high beam filaments.
Sounds like your dipped filament has gone out. Time to replace the bulb.
Depending on the age/useage of your lights, you might need to replace both headlight bulbs as the remaining (older) bulb may appear to be dimmer than the new one.

Sorry, my mistake. I hadn't copped it was the other lights that were activating!
