Hi All,

Low beams are fine...high beams are fine...normal beams don't come on at all...have checked fuses and relays (fuse panel under dash on driver side) and the ones near the airbox (there are four of them)...is there anything else I am missing out ?

Any help appreciated :)
Steve

Howdy Brett,

That's what I considered...but thought it was a bit coincidental...checked both sides and they're ok...one thing I am thinking is maybe it's the switch inside the car.

Will investigate further and keep this thread updated :)

If you cant fix it, pit nismo stickers on the car, led washers and drive with 8000k high beams on.

LOL :P

Ok...eventually traced it down to a dodgy relay...after initial diagnosis I didn't think it was because I could hear it clicking when the switch was turned on etc.
