Hi. Looking for help as I've just lost the side light and main beam on the drivers side of my 2006 9-5 Dame Edna with HID headlights. Could understand loosing one or the other as asuming they are on seperate circuits and have seperate fuses, relays, but both at the same time? What would cause this as cant be driving round with only one side lit up? Cheers, Lee

When you turn on the lights does the light on the left do the up/down levelling check?  Or even just point down?

The right hand headlamp unit shares an earthing point with the front headlamp level sensor on the front suspension.

If it's not working, then check the right hand earthing point.  It might still be a broken wire or crimp (there's a crimp 4 inches along the loom from the earthing point.  Try wiggling the wire around here.
