Picked new car up on friday afternoon, drove 200 miles back from Peterhead aberdeen, to my granparents house in kilmarnock in the pissing rain. Got there, had some T then decided to go back out, got roughly 5miles down the road and the lights cut out completly. The hi-beam flash works, the brake lights and indicators all work but the lights wont come on. Tried changin the fuse and it blows as soon as I swap it.

Any ideas? Or anyone that can help/fix it? Quick, please?lol:thumb:

had a look at it, it's there, and bolted on but i can't tell if it's fubbared or what. A mate said it could be something to do with the bulbs, maybe with all the rain? or a blown bulb shortin' them out? i dunno :confused:

Could also be duff relay.

Its possible for H4s to pop the dipped beam element and still work full beam (happened to me once) but for both to go together is a bit odd.
