Default Headlight Failure

Hi, Hopefully some electrical guru can help me out, I'm pretty good at the oily bits but electrics are not my forte. I've got a headlight out, its the right hand driver (UK) lamp and I've changed the bulb (Xenon) Checked the fuses for the headlamps in the engine fusebox and then replaced the headlamp module on the bottom of the headlight all to no avail. Not sure what to check next, are the headlights relay driven? Sidelights work fine. Any help appreciated. Cheers Ian

Agreed.
While you’re at it check the pinpoint tests in the manual. before spending more money.

Many Thanks Mc Jag222. I had a look under the car and cleaned that earth strap connection and the RH headlamp has sprung into life, strange I wasn't getting any other electrical issues if that earth was so poor. Thanks again. Ian

Ian, you might want to check the LH side head lamp ground lug on the right side of the car behind the damper/spring strut that is subject to corrosion - I explained my situation in this thread:
