I have been trying to get to the bottom of an issue I have had for a couple of years with my main beam headlight on the nearside. It will only come on dim and will work if I push the headlight unit in but will only work for a short while again. I thought it may be bad earth but also could have been the plug not seating correctly.
Anyway my MOT is next week so I took the headlight out again and tried to make the plug a better fit, nothing I did fixed this but when I took the side light out to have a look inside I could see a loose brown (earth wire) so now I think this is my problem and I have tried to get the yellow plug out of the headlight but it is so deep inside I can't release it.
It was only working previously as the wire end was sitting against the pin just making contact, when I push the headlight in it must make a slightly better contact.
Does anyone know how to remove the plug in the headlight so I can fix the wire? Is there a clip or similar, it must come out somehow?
