just beed on a little drive in the countryside, was a tad dark and so main beam was needed  but i have LHD lights on my corsa.
therefore the alignment of the headlights is set a tad high, as is the main beam
so its easier for me to hold my main beam on (pulling the stalk towards yourself) but after holding it on for a little while it went off  now it doesnt appear to work at all  although my main beam on their own does, just not when i pull the stalk towards me (as you would to flash someone etc)
any ideas?
thanks
Marc

I dont really see why having LHD headlights means you have to manually hold your main beam on instead of just pushing the stick back and turning them off as/when required.
Either way, if the main beams work if you push the stick back but dont when you pull it forward then the switch has probabaly broken. They are the same bulbs.

the main beam is high and doesnt quite light up the road ahead, its more for lighting upthe tops of bushes and such like
