Xenon dip beams failed
I've tried contacting Rick (rick-sta) who fitted xenons to my 54 Connie a year or so ago but he's apparently not available until 1st December. I'm hoping someone will be able to shed some light where mine have failed.
I had angel-eye units fitted. Both inner and outer lights on each side are designed to work with dip beam, and main beam works only on one light on each side whilst leaving the dip beams on. Both dip beams on the driver's side (both) stopped working last night when I adjusted the levelling rheostat. The angel eyes, sidelights and main beams all work ok; it's both dips on the driver's side which failed simultaneously. I've checked as far as I can without removing the bumper for wiring issues but can find none. I repaired the chaffed-wire issue soon after I got the car and fitted flexi conduit so it won't be that. Whilst I'm good with electrics, I know very little about these xenon conversions and can see there's a module on the back of each. Suggestions?

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Each side you have one light with one filament and one light with a double filament.
The dip filament on the double filament bulb is not working and the single filament dip light is also not working. The common item for these two filaments is the rheostat. My guess is the problem is there or in the associated wiring. |

Replied to your PM Dougie. Check the wiring leading up to the headlight for any breaks in the wiring, and also check the headlight plug itself to ensure none of the pins have come out of the plug. |
