The main beam on my connie est have stopped working, no warning lights on dash have checked bulbs and fuses. Help please.

Possibly main beam relay?

The lighting system is electronically controlled within the LSM, so no relays as such. Maybe worth checking the lamps harness for chafing on the nearside chassis.

It might also be a common earth fault, so check the earthing points on the inner wings.

Good point!
(It's the front fog lamps that have a relay)
First thing I would do is make sure the radio code is to hand (not needed with hi-line or aftermarket) & disconnect the battery for an hour.
Other than that, look to the LSM or wiring as pointed out by T-Cut
