hi glen,
thanks for replying. it was the bulb that needed replacing, which wasnt the easiest of tasks. but i idid want to check the fuse before i changed the bulb, and as regard the handbook it only lists afs headights ( advanced front lighting system) right and left fuse 5 and 6. when i checked the fuse 5 and 6 had nothing exept where 6 should have been it had a conector that disappeared behind the dash.
any help for the future might be good
