Hi,

Recently high beam light appeared on my dash so I checked if I have high beams turned on, apparently, I didn't... So I went around the car and checked the lights. Noticed that LH (driver side) Europe, not UK. the low beam was not working, however, the switch was working fine it let me switch to high beams and now both headlights are glowing. The icon remains on the dash whether I have lights on it just shows that I have high beams. 

What has been done so far:

Bought a new bulb though I have never seen this issue even with a dead bulb. Issue persists

Checked the 15A fuses for the beams and they are also fine. 

Has anyone had a similar problem with their primeras?

Update, now neither of low or high beams works on left side headlight, checked with the electrics lamp and found out that both of high and low beams contacts give positive current, that is the reason why they don't light up but where exactly is the problem still no idea... I cant find where the wires from the bulb contacts go further, wires are quite short and they disappear inside the headlight...

If you have positive, the problem may be with the ground?

Do you have the Service Manual?

Good Electrical diagrams

Do you have Daytime Lights? They are not on the UK Cars.

Thanks for the reply. I have the manual. The issue was corroded E10 ground nearby. I have fixed the issue by cleaning the wires
