Help with my light problem please...

[Tango]

I have this problem that just started due to no reason, I dont have main headlights, they come on very dim with the sidelights when the engine is started but they are not bright at all, also I dont have main beam, that you can leave on!!! I have the flashers working no problems but no main beam, we have checked all switches relays and found no faults. Does the ignition barrel have a wire on it that feeds the light system when the key is engaged, if so what colour is it? I would like to wire it on main live as I know I could well have a problem with the ignition barrel on the car. Also when you switch the motor off the lights come on ok for a split second.

Any help with this problem so I can sort it out please thank you all in advance.

Here is a vid of what the lights do!!!! ;)

Sounds like the dim/dip relay has failed.

Tried a new relay still the same problem, well it was a second hand one but was working on the other motor!!!! Any other ideas??? How does the relay earth out is it with the 2 screws holding it in place???

Mine is screwed to the dash panel behind the instruments. As you say, there are just 2 screws. I suspect any earthing it dealt with in the wiring harness.

Try replacing the headlight switch, as these are prone to failure on Discovery models.

Ok still no headlights and have checked nearly everything app there is a transformer somewhere that is meant to connect to the sensitive relay. Does anyone know where this is located as I have tried everything else and still dont have any headlights!!!!  :-k
