Yeah, check the connector between headlight and car

Common problem, easy fix.

Where is it located? Do I take out the light unit, or can it be reached from inside the trunk?

Not to be a jerk, but a 90 second google search would have answered all of your questions.
I mean, I'm glad to help and all, but this is really basic stuff.

Thanks for the help, apart from particlewave's comment - perhaps he had had a bad day. Most responders are usually very helpful to beginners on the forum.

I got the light unit back in OK, although it took a few tries. The over-centre locking mechanism seemed to be jamming up, the unit needed a firm push rear wards before it would lock properly. And yes, there is a good U-tube video that helped. The unit is now working fine.

Not at all
If I recall, I'm the one who told you what the problem was.

I just did the basic math and figured that it would take about 8-10 times longer for me to explain it to you than it would for you to type a few words into a search engine.

Teach a man to fish?
You see where I'm going?
No hard feelings and happy driving
