Technical Headlight problem

Hi,
I have a headlight problem my front passenger side indicater stopped working along with the same side dip beam,I've checked the bulbs are ok and the fuses are good too any ideas would be much appreciated

Thanks Nasher's

Try giving the wires a good clean, dirt builds up incredibly quick on the wires.

If that doesn't give you any luck, relays would be next.

Have a look at the plug for that cluster. Generally it's the black earth wire that gives trouble. Also worth a look are the earth points on the inner wing although they are shared both sides so if only one side is acting up the plug would be suspect.

Thanks for advice I'll try it, I've also got to brand new headlight clusters that I bought for my last punto mk2 but never put on as I sold the car,so I've also been advised try changing the cluster been as you have them and if it still doesn't work start working back from there,so that's what I'm going to try changing the clusters,so I have to remove the front bumper any good links on here for removing the bumper any videos ?

It is possible that the fault is internal to the cluster but really makes more sense to check out the plug before dismantling the car

Trouble is Brendan to check that plug in any way you have to remove the cluster and to do that you have to at least drop one half of the bumper but if you do that you risk cracking the paint so better to take the whole bumper off
