I was wondering if you could help please I am having a problem with the lights on my Vauxhall insignia elite. I have not owned the car long and was purchased knowing that the offside headlight needed replacing.
I have purchased and had the headlight fitted at a reputable garage but my flashers do not work and I have no high beam, the blue high beam light does come on in the dash display both for main beam and flash but nothing happens with the light outside, no other warning lights present on the dash display
These light are the adaptive xenon type

Have you checked fuses ? Also lamp will probably need coding to the car to work correctly.

HI, Have you ever found a fix for this? I bought a 2nd hand unit over a year ago for £320. The full beam has never worked even though the blue light indicates that it is on. All my fuses have been checked. I really dont want to take a gamble and buy a brand new light and that not being the problem as I cant return the light.

Thanks

As the Doc mentioned it'll probably need coding to the car.
