Have you checked the connections and cables high beam switch behind the steering wheel? Any modifications in that area?
The high beam lever can be pushed and pulled. Have you tested both ways?
Have you tested if there is currency running if you push or pull the lever?

Hi Markus,
I have tried both pulling and pushing the high beam lever. With both headlamp units removed from the car the high beam dashboard light illuminates and I can also measure 12v at both headlamp connector terminals for the high beams. It's only when I refit either of the headlamp units that the dashboard light no longer illuminates when I push or pull the lever and neither high beam works.
I have ordered a replacement headlamp dashboard switch but don't see how that will help with the high beams - the low beams, fog lights, parking lights and turn signal lights all work.
Thanks, Paul
