Hello

Did they both fail together?

Have you any means of checking voltage - a bulb and a bit of wire is enough?

I think I've got it OK; everything works except dim-dip and dipped headlights?

So; did both sides fail together; or separately? Have you tried new bulbs? Fuses OK?

I have changed bulbs ,checked all fuses they all seem ok . Both lights had gone at same time .

Do you have anything to test for voltage?

To your knowledge; do these use a dropping resistor, or do they series/parallel the bulbs for dim-dip?

I would have something that i can borrow from a nieghbour to test the voltage .But for the second part of your question i wouldnt know,sorry.
