Thought i'd update this. Always check the simple things 1st!!!

I swapped the headlight switch and it made no difference so I got the multimeter out, had 12v at the low beam fuses, had 12v at the headlight plug, took apart the headlight mounting so I could power it up with the headlight out of the wing, had 12v at the plug on the back of the bulb, checked the earth, all good. Must be the bulb. I'd already removed it and it looked perfect, swapped it with the fog light bulb as they are the same and it worked and the fog doesn't. I'm assuming it'll be the same for the other side (it's pissing down and dark so i'll do it another time)

It seems strange for a pair of bulbs to look fine and not work, not seen that before. Strange for them to both go at the same time also. I noticed my old headlight switch has been apart in the past, I guess the car may have had previous problems. Could it have been what's killing them previously?
