Both dip beams not working
Hi all, went out this morning and neither of my dip beams are working, I've checked the manual and there doesn't seem to be a fuse for them, only for the LSM. Any ideas?

Always check/change the bulbs first.

There are no fuses for the headlamps. It's all under solid state control in the LSM. Somewhere on the checklist for two concurrent failures of headlamp bulbs is a chafed wiring harness. Driver side near screen wash reservoir (front bumper off).

After reading all the hype around Osram Nightbreakers I bought a pair (from ECP, few years ago mind) and aside from not being any different to the bog standard ones that were already in, they literally only lasted a few weeks and both went at the same time.
Absolute dog muck. The most over rated rubbish going. At the time I replaced them with Halfords own 150% brighter which had just come out, and they were still on for two years up to me selling the car. |

Well I popped the bumper off this morning and lo & behold both bulbs were blown, slipped into town and got a pair of Ring bulbs which are claimed to be 100% brighter than standard bulbs. At £26 a pair they should be.
