Power comes from headlight switch, to combination (dip) switch, to fuses, to lamp module.

Do you get 12V to any of the headlight fuses, high OR low beam??

I will get the multimeter out tonight when I get home. Thanks.

Can't detect voltage at the fuses.

Have no tail lights either although I do have brake lights thankfully.

Seems I can't drive at night until I solve this conundrum.

I tested voltage at the fuses and I get 12V at both L & R low beam and at both L & R high beam.

I have dash and instrument lights; brake lights (inc. 3rd), turn indicator lights, rear side lights... but still no head or tail lights on either side.

Headlamp bulbs look good; all tail light bulbs look good; the bulb-out indicator light has not come on.

I'd be very thankful if anyone can point me in the right direction; what do I need to check next?
