series 3 land rover head lights

I have full beam and side lights but no dipped lights check fuse box all ok also the bukbs are good so think it will be the switch or break in cable main thing is I can't see any relays in the circuit or on the wiring diagram so does any one know if it part if the switch or if there's a relay were to is it she on the old r reg any help I would be great full

put a live on bulb make sure it works .. could be wires on stalk best to test em first they can be a pain.. sealed headlights or bulb ones ?

dont know you accse them by unscrewing the panel on front of wing

relays normally stop working full stop not just one bit of em prob the switch or like you say braek in wire had an sj that did it once never found the falt got it working by puting a switch in. and if you get it working it will most prob stop again next day wecome to land rover reliability lol

and check bulbs twice my fourtrak done the the same both lights no dip but full ok . it was the bulbs lol

If it's got hazzards the switch should be in the middle of the dash on a seperate panel directly below the split in the screen.

nope it dont have any hazzard swich just the ones on the clock she on the change wehen they came in and have never been fit and the mot out doesn need them might be a good idea to fit them at a latere date

dont need hazzards as they came into the mot test in 1979 then wing repeaters at 1985, not a spotter just a tester

Did u get light working what was it.
