Technical left low beam not working, high beam working
For the knee...
Rest
Ice
Compress
Elevate
Have you tried swapping the bulb to make sure that it isn't faulty?
I banged my knee going back and forth between lights and driving seat. No heaven for me after today
Yes I tried another H4 but same results. Low beam not working, high beam working.
I think I have found the culprit

It's true I didn't check, sorry.
I am searching "dipped light" but it doesn't find anything. Same results for "hte plug"
I don't like that tutorial on that website... I don't like flying cables under the bonnet.
However, I can't just clean the connector. It will happen again and again.

Do a search in my threads. I've included a link for an uprated connector as well. It has thicker wires than the factory one.
Search on connector and or dipped IIRC

Thanks A3jeroen! Reading it now...
thanks.. that WAS the post I was trying to find
out if interest were you guys using " uprated" bulbs..?

Guys my connector wasn't much burned. However it didn't reach the two low beams pins welded on the body computer
I put inside of them a piece from a clip such as this

and it's now making contact (low beams working)

No uprated bulbs for me. However.. I always have the lights on.
The wires are too the in, thus creating heat.
I hope you get away with not using a new connector. Tried that myself after ordering the connector and after a few months the original one was completely gone.

I don't feel safe with this solution.. low beams are just too important.
I could end up having to replace the whole body computer too.
I bought a new connector on ebay for 20 euro

I have to go to a auto electrician to adjust the beams height anyway
Thanks again for your help A3jeroen

If one of the low beams is still working then the working bulb connector can be plugged into a harness like this....
Look on Ebay for H4-9003-Headlight-Relay-Harness-Wire-Halogen-Ceramic-Controller-Socket-Plug-Kit-/
The body computer now just has to feed an amp or so to the relays for the main and dip beams. The harness powers the lights from a fused link to the battery via the relays.
This is a very quick fix, I had to cut recesses in the plastic headlamp bowls to admit the cables and make a bracket to mount the relays. The Panda wing bolts are conveniently situated to secure the mounting bracket and earth tags. The rest is just plugging the sockets, connecting the live on the battery and tidying the cable runs.
This fix costs under a tenner, my Fiat main dealer's solution was a new body computer which now comes with an assistance kit (surprise) which would have cost over 800 euros fitted.

This quickfix won't stop the connector from overheating/burning out.
If the pins on the bodycomputer are already burnt away, opening it up and soldering in thicker wires might be a solution.
