When I switch my full beam on my lights go out......

Well, this is a bit random and was discovered on a country road at 10pm with no road markings - YES!

 

When I have my lights on and click on the full beam I just get the side lights/parking lights on?

 

I have the head light loom conversion on also (don't know if this could affect anything)

 

I haven't checked the bulbs but seems a bit strange they would both go at the same time?

 

The fuses appear to be fine, first time I've ever checked them on the Corrado.

 

I read the car manual - always carry spare bulbs - well thank you

same as mine, try adjust the steering colunm down and see if full beam comes on then, mine does. Seems like the wiring has shorted somewhere.

Great, I was just saying to someone the other day how everything was working on my car - now I need new wiring....

Neil is that one of my looms? I don't keep a record of who I send them to. :roll:

Could be the fuse for the main beam on the loom if it is. Try a 30A if you have a 20A fitted.

Cool, will try that Gavin.

The kit was already fiited when I purchased the car Easter 2004

I think all my fuses were 10Amps? I could be wrong though, will check tonight

Mine started going doo-lally a couple of months ago, doing the sort of thing yours is. I replaced one of the 3 20amp blade fuses near the battery (think mine was a BRM loom) and it started behaving itself.

Had the same thing happen in my mk2 GTi, turned out fitting brighter bulbs without upgrading everything else was a bad idea :oops: took my Grandpa's mechanic the best part of a day to replace all the relays, wiring etc.

Replace the fuse and fuse holder on the Loom with a waterproof type fuseholder ( it has a cap on it that keeps the water out )

and that sorted the probs I had with my one,I bought mine from lucas.

Hope this helps
