Ah thank you very much for clearing that yo matey.
As I said I've fixed the bad wiring and still no difference. So I don't know?

I've noticed when the secondary dim side light think is on in the headlight bulb. And I flick the mains on, the main comes on like it is getting 1volt and the already dim section of te headlight gets dimmer.

don want to do that if it can be avoided

Liam mate, I had the same trouble with JNT that you bought off me. I had to get an auto-spark involved and my problem was that they were American made and the wires didn't match up at all with the UKDM loom. He got it sorted out and then it failed MOT due to incorrect light pattern or something stupid so I got the one piece JDM headlights that were on it when you bought it.

I know my story doesn't really help, but my point is if you're getting nowhere fast with these lights then an electrician is probably your only answer. Plus side, it shouldn't take him too long, maybe £40-£50 to sort it out and then you know it's done properly.

Hey mate, well the problem
Is with the standard lights now, I thought I'd just put the standard ones back to check and they do t work so all the problem with the no headlights and main beams wtc is with the standard lights. This is why I can't figure it out

I d t realise a auto spark would be that cheap I was thinking hundreds.

Also check headlight fuses first mate, they are quite sensitive and cause all kinds of funny light behaviour.

I had an auto-spark out a month or so ago, he was with me for an hour and charged me £30 (including parts & VAT!)

And wow that was cheap, in bristol though cheap is not used very often lol and as I'm new here I don't have any contacts through friends of friends etc lol
