Hi, wondering if you can help. I lost dip and full beam on both headlights, replaced both ballasts with genuine parts from Vauxhall and also replaced both bulbs with Napa Xenon HID D1S.. Picked up from mechanic and all was working, came out to the car an hour later and now back to having no dip or full beam - everything else works ie- cornering lights and both lights move when the steering is turned. Any help would be appreciated.

It's very rare for the problem to be internal, it's usually water ingress that goes to the bottom and flows through the connection into the ballast!

What if low and high beam dont work, bought two new bulbs and they dont work either. Will it be a ballast issue?

I have a 2013 vauxhall insignia. My drivers side light wasn't working. No dfl. Just the indicator. Bought a ballast and still wasn't working. The full beam worked on the passenger side. I then replaced with a 2nd hand unit which cost me £320. The lights now work expect for the full beam on both lights. Any recommendations?

[zaynhussain]

Can someone clarify. When I turn my full beams on. The lighting is rubbish. Does the dipped beam and high beam come out from 1 bulb or are they separate bulbs?

Thank you for this video. I have the same problem.
I tested my relays and fuses, everything is ok. Except that my two 15A fuses of the high beam do not receive any current (ignition or engine on).
Is my problem the same as what is explained in your video?
Thank you for your answer.

hello, my opel insignia A (2010) no longer has high beams. on the on-board computer, i have two messages: "afl lamps need maintenance" and "headlight range adjustment malfunction".
the 2 high beam fuses have no power.
Error message : B0985.
Lamps + fuses + relay + commodo + ballast tested = OK. No water.

What do you think the problem is ? Right-side optics to be changed ? Thanks for your reply.

Hi, I’ve had water ingress on LH side and now full beam on LHS and RHS are not working. Would replacing the LHS unit fix the issue with the RHS also?

[rroroso]

Thank you for your info, but I this black box what you show, where can I buy it? Or how it's looks? Maybe you can put some link here.

I have error in Body>Headlamp High Beam Control Module "B0000-71 Vehicle Speed Information Circuit" Error. OP-COM shows this error. Can you please give me instructions with is the problem with my AFL lights and how to resolve the problem? Thanks a lot my friend.

Really useful video thx 👍 I have a persistent AFL warning & headlamps work ok, but full beam not working. I get error code U1523 00 (K26 Headlamp Control Module) LIN Bus 2 Lost Communication With Device 3 (E13R Headlamp Assembly Right). Is there a control module for the right headlamp that I could replace? Or would you still recommend replacing the whole headlamp unit with this error code? Thx.
