Headlight problem

This problem is happening with my R32 91 GTS.

Both my low and high beam lights went out on the left side (separate
bulbs) so I first checked there was power on the connectors (there
was) and so i replaced the bulbs. They still didnt work, I realised
that as soon as a bulb was plugged into the connector (two pin push-in
type connector) there was no current on the wire. I tried the other
sides known working bulb and still nothing.

I dont think its the light switch because the high and low beam
switches in the car are separate switches (one is a twist knob and the
other is the indicator lever)

Any suggestions?

Flamer.

I should have mentioned that I have checked all fuses are ok.

Bad earth connection, common to both bulbs?

found the issue it was a worn down connector in the headlight switch.

Do you mean the connector block that is removable? I am having the
same issue and cannot find anything wrong with the block, trying to
take apart the actual headlight switch but I can't seem to...

you have to take the whole dash off, the switch is behind the knob you
turn to turn on the headlights, once thats out you can take it apart
and look for a white plastic slider it should have 3 contacts in it,
one of those in mine was worn down.
