   Hi all, my off side headlight on my 99 vtr isnt working, yet the other side is. I've gone though all fuses and they are all OK. Whats going on here?
   
   Thank you

   No, Ive tried the other bulb and no luck. It was doing it Thursday last week and after fiddling around with the fuses both under the dash and in the engine bay, it came on? And was OK since then??

   the sidelight bulbs are polar sensitive, turn it around?

    someone on here will know, i am sure i have read something about this before on here. It works something like one light turns the other to turn on, and maybe that connection is broken? not 100% though.

    Appears to be all sorted. Took the fuse out of its holder and put it back in. Not sure what might have caused this?
