Has anyone any experiance with metro lights ?

the main beam has gone but the bulbs light up dull with the side lights when turned on

Try all the earthing points first, check for security and corrosion.

try changing the switch......they have a habit of shorting out!

or the plugs that the bulbs plug into....if they get corroded, they short out & melt!!

have you cheked ya headlamp bulbs carfuly somtimes it can be as simple as a blown filament droped across the other filament so.........then power goes into the loom lighting up ya sidelamps and head lamps to especialy if you have a dimdip relay everything lights up but way dull bit like stew realy but you get my drift
