Leon mk1 front lights out!!

[47poles]

Hello All, can anyone tell me if there is a seperate fuse for the normal driving lights on the mk1 leon cupra tdi? Side lights, fogs and full beam are all working.

Any helps would be much appreciated.

Thanks

have you checked the bulbs?
have you checked fuses?

or alternatively the switch could be your culprit.

Checked the bulbs and about to check the fuse, but wondered which one it was and if there was a seperate fuse for those lights?

 

[andycupra]

im not sure, but it takes a few seconds to check all the fuses anyway. so no harm done

I'm sure there is check the print on the fuse holder cover for the location of them.

Seperate fuse for each side, think there the top left 2 under the dash cover.

Tells you where they are on back of dash cover

Thanks for all of your adivce!
I am going to go out and have a look now, hope it's not the switch! Does anyone know where to get a second hand one if it turns out to be that? It seems likely as both lights seemed to fail at the same time!

Thanks Again.

Best trying the breakers on ebay, can't recall the new price.

Try the dealer seremotors on here if you do go down the dealer route for new

 

[47poles]

Well the bulbs all look fine and the fuses are both ok. Looks like I need a switch. I have looked on e-bay but don't really know what i'm looking for. Can anyone help? Is it the main switch that which controls all the lights or a smaller part???

 

[LEE69]

Yeah main switch easy to change just push it in and turn it clockwise, it releases the holding pins then you can pull it out

 

[47poles]

Does anyone know where I can get a main light control switch on the net ASAP?

Thanks

 

[andycupra]

have you taken a look at the switch? before getting a new one id take a look at it. It may just need cleaning or be something obvious. You could even perform a test to see if it is the switch before paying out.

Thanks Andy.

How would i test the switch, i wouldn't know where to start!!

Cheers
