Headlights not working

The side lights work as they should, with a low current going through to the main head light, but when switch is in the dipped position I have sidelights only no dim headlight. But then, if you switch to main beam, then turn back to dipped they all work fine, till next time you use them.

I know there is a box somewhere that controls this low voltage to the headlight business, and am thinking that may be the problem.

Any thoughts..........

Where is this box of tricks..........

Thanks

The dim-dip box is mounted behind the dash binnacle; looks like a large relay, it's a maroon colour.

you can get a bypass unit for it (i've got one in the bulkhead i'm building up, can get you the part number tomorrow if needed), which is just a "relay" box, with a wire link in it, across the main switch contacts (to keep power to the headlights whenever the stalk off/sidelight/main switch is switched on.

Thanks Jamie,

The part number would be useful.

Think I have a spare main beam stalk around somewhere, so may change that to test.

Can't think what else it could be.
