Got a strange fault on a micra headlight one side. 12v is present when I check with meter but when the bulb is put back it drops to 0v. Suspect a dry joint somwhere on that side wiring.
Haynes manual refers to a dim/dip unit that I want to trace but I cant find it. Haynes as usual does not show where it is.
Any ideas appreciated?

I could have done with that info 4 years ago!
I had the same problem and ended up taking feeds from the working headlight, via 2 relays connected to the battery with appropriate fuses.

Well what a great response. In half an hour I had a solution. Many thanks. Thats what is great about this forum-lots of very experienced and helpful people.
It was the corroded contact and the link was spot on in its description.
Incidently the job was a friend of my daughter who had volunteered me to replace the faulty bulb. I was thinking it would turn out into one of those 5 minute jobs that take all afternoon.
Once again thanks.

No problem - am only "experienced and helpful" when it comes to Nissans though! Dim/dip relay is a common fault on a lot of Nissans, glad you got it sorted.
