Morning all, did a quick check to see if anyone else has this issue but alas here I am.
One of my dip headlight (R) is giving me grief. I start up check headlights and the Right dip light is not working, left no problem, main beam both lights no problem.
The strange thing is, if I pull the connector from the bulb a couple of times, the light works? I have checked and cleaned the connector at the bulb, checked wiring down as far as I can see but find nothing.
Any advice?
Regards
Tom

Have you tried a new bulb? The existing bulb could be faulty. Please note that the dipped beams have individual fuses.
Attached is wiring diagram for x230 headlamps. Source is German language manual in downloads section. English annotations are mine.
