Ford Fiesta Healight Problem

[Matthew Cuthbertson]

Hi,

I have a 1998 Ford Fiesta Ghia 1.4. At the moment, my headlights are not working properly. When i switch my lights on, it gives a very dimm light, and so i have to use my full beam because this works perfectly. Obviously, this is very dangerous for the other drivers that are on the road, and i took it to Halfords to buy some new bulbs and the person told me that it was an electrical issue and that i dont actually need any new bulbs.

Does anybody know what the problem could be or how i could solve it? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

check what voltage your getting at the buld fitment when the lights are on, it could be a bad earth.
