Richard, I know how you feel.
Its probably a couple of years, since I used the 8s lights at night.
On the use it or loose it principal, I usually flick the lights
of the 7, & 8, on & off when ever I start their motors. A few months
back, the 8s lights stopped responding to the switch, & I made a
mental note to have a look at them, some time.
With the auto now biting like a british bull dog, I was cleaning up
a few things in the cockpit. It was when I put my reading glasses
on, to read the radio instructions, that the light flashed.
Where as the headlight switch, on the 7, is on the right hand end of
the row of switchs, I could now see that it was on the left hand end
of the row in the 8. This silly old fart had forgotten, & had been
filcking the spot lights on. They are unlikely to work, from the box
they are in, & have been in, since I fitted the new spoiler.
With a flick of the switch, they rose majestically from the bonnet
flooding the shed with light. They've had a halogen injection job.
I am getting similar pleasure from not having to fix them, as you
are getting from having fixed yours. I don't know if I'm happy that
they work, or that I no longer care that I'm a silly old fart, but
which ever it is, I'm happy. I have a little grin, every time I go
near the 8.
