The earthing for the headlight should be supplied through the wiring harness. Do you have a multimeter or test lamp you can use to work out if your headlight power and earth cables are ok?

The headlights use ground G201 (according to the service manual page 23-20):

Edit - I just noticed I have accidentally used the location pic for LHD cars. The RHD diagram shows G201 to be in the exact same place

So its the drivers or passenger side? Which 1?

The right hand (drivers) side as described in the pic above

That's for the 4g. Danzley, you have got a 5G haven't you? (your profile says 4G but that was you with the slammed black 5G at JAE right, unless I've got the usernames muddled?)
