pharkit Donating Members 251 Member For: 17y 5m 19d Gender: Male Posted 01/06/11 03:25 PM Share Posted 01/06/11 03:25 PM Guys I noticed my right headlight wasnt working properly the other night. The main bulb inside the light wasnt on but the smaller ones in there were fine. Didnt do anything about it now I noticed its working 100%. Anyone got any ideas or had it happen. Its some sort of loose of connection? I did a bit of driving when it was raining heaps.. could it be water??Any info appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine did that last week and now it's dead. I thought it was a loose connection or something but the high beam also makes it light up and it worked fine.

oldskool Member 144 Member For: 18y 10m 10d Posted 01/06/11 09:29 PM Share Posted 01/06/11 09:29 PM I had a similar issue where my lights would work intermittently, intertor lights would turn on but I got no head lights, play the the switch and they would finally turn on. Then they died all together. Aparrently it is a common issue on the BF's is that the wiring look is too short to the arm which contrls the lights and over time they just break off. Ford wanted 550 (just for the part) to replace the whole arm, took it to a sparky who fixed it for 80 dollars.For had about 40 of them in stock at my dealer, so it must be a known issue they commonly fix.

I didn't mind though as it gave me a reason to ditch the stupid narva arctic blue headlights. Looked ok but they were hopeless!!!! may as well put a candle in a jam jar.
