Hi

Have a 106 which currently only one head lamp is working correctly,the
other is dim, changed bulb and no change. i have seen in other posts
that the dim/dip resistor needs replacing, is this a common fault, if
so where is the dim dip resistor located and is it easy to change,
other posts suggest relays may be a cause

cheers

Russell

I would also suspect a wiring fault, like the earth connection is corroded.
Assuming that you have the lights full on, then it will not be the dim-dip
resistor, as that is not in circuit.
Also, is it the same on dip and main beam? Assuming both are dim, then you
can be sure it is the earth, as that is the only common feature.
