check the fuses, afaik the lights are controlled by 2 or 3 different fuses, look at the placement map inside the cover for details

Sounds like the (low-beam) bulbs have blown? Or else the switch is acting up. Bit of a coincidence that the fault surfaced just after your dealer sorted out the indicator relay problem though. I would bring it back. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have checked fuses and all seem fine. I drove this car home from the garage last night and I now realise I had no lights (
hence why people beeped me) Should I start screeming blue murder at the garage.

you might have remembered me from your previous post the exact same thing happened with my peugeot turned out to be the relay control unit(basically the pc that controlled what the relays did)

The reason my fault took so long to fix was that they were looking at the relays all the time and not the main control

I am definitely liking this theory, and am finding it hard to believe (if it is the cause) that Psygnosis's Leon is the first one to suffer.

Psy, did you say you were with a main dealer? If so, ask him to check the relay controller. When (if?) he finds that it is the cause of the problems, he will fear your wisdom. :eek:

Either way, get the dealer to investigate the controller!

@gerrycollins: Looks like you're going to 'bust up the party'.

Yup with a main dealer gona give them a ring shortly to see what the story is will leave a update later.

Just rang there, story was that after changing the relay they never attatched the lights back up so hopefully all is now well.
