No main or dipped beam
Just picked up a defender, side light and light was out

Changed bulbs

Side lights and dimmed beams work on bottom stalk

On the top stalk only the flash and dipped beam works for 10 seconds

Am I right in saying top stalk

Quite possible it is in the stalk switch as it's the known weak link( this why some folk fitt a headlamp loom with seperate relays).
If you know how you could join then wires at the switch plug to prove its faulty.

Double check the headlamp relay in the cabin fuse box is OK before ordering parts.
It supplies power to the switch when the ignition is turned on.

Cheers. Cheers,

I've already ordered one, be alright the end bit spins around anyway.

Thanks for the advice I'll give it a try tomorrow bypassing it.

Quite a few forum previous posts say about towing putting extra extra strain on the switches.. Well this landie has barely drove without towing (152,000)
