Is 200 Lighting Problem

[J4mes]

hi guys I'm new to the forum , I was just wondering if anyone could help me.

I've got a 2000 "X" is 200 sport , I seem to have an intermittent problem with my headlights and main beam, basically they work when they feel like it.

I've checked all the fuses, I've replaced the light stalk in the car and replaced the light relay under the bonnet.

I'm absolutely useless when it comes to electrics so I wonder if anyone has any suggestions?

Many thanks

James

Hello James.

Have you tried to give the wires a wiggle? 9/10 times its just a loose connection. Go turn the lights on and give the headlights a rattle, then move on to the wires, and follow them back as far as you can go giving them a good wiggle while checking the lights.

Apart from thisi cant offer much more advice but i'm sure someone else will chime in and give some more.

Regards,

James

Hello and welcome to the LOC.

To clarify is this problem affecting both headlights and both main and dipped beam?

Lexus tend to switch circuits on/off by the earth connection to compete the circuit so it may be worth checking the relevent earthing points for the lighting circuits.
