Headlights Don't work
 
Both headlights, high.low. fog & indicators have stopped working. Checked fuses & they are ok.

What else could it be?

I'm thinking maybe an earthing problem?

You may need to replace your headlight switch.

I believe it also could be the ignition switch!

Replacing the headlight switch solved the problem for me, although Anker is correct -- could be the ignition switch as well.

Headlight switches are very expensive and usually just need a cleaning. Order an ignition switch because they're not expensive and you'll need it eventually, anyway. While you wait to receive the ignition switch, clean your headlight switch snd see if that solves your issue. If not, install the new ignition switch.
If neither helps, you may need a new headlight switch.

My money is on the ignition switch.

Thanks Guys.

Looks like it's actually the connectors to the lights themselves

Aussieboxy - can you share what the issue was and how you fixed it?
On my left headlight the litronic low beams work, but fog, high beam, and blinker do not. Right light is fine, fuses are fine.
I'm guessing I may have a connector issue, too.
