Hi,

I just developed a problem with my headlights on my EB Falcon and would
appreciate your insight.

The parklights and highbeam headlights are working fine, however I have lost
my lowbeam.

I have tested the lamps, and they are fine.

I was looking for the fuse, but it does not appear to be located in the fuse
panel located near my right knee.

Where should I start troubleshooting?

does it have voltage to the switch and bulb holder ?

Thanks for that Brad,

I have a look and noticed four relay next to the battery.  I gave them a
jiggle and the lowbeam started working.

So, it was just a case of dirty contacts.

Another thing that usually causes this is the wiring on *non* genuine
headlights is cheap lol so you have to check they aren't touching each
other. This is inside the actual headlight itself, accessible from the rear.
