Whilst out yesterday I found that during hard left hand cornering the lights were popping up. Almost as if a wire somewhere were swaying and causing a connection with something it shouldn\'t. Straighten back out and the lights stay down...
 
Which wires would need checking? :3Confused
 
Cheers chaps.

It will most likely be in that big bundle of wires passing in front of the radiator...

Cheers Prof. (Always to the rescue! :Thumbsup!)
 
I was rather hoping it would be them rather than something with the controls.
 
Cheers.
 
Will report back this evening :)

Nope. Connections seem ok in there.

Could be a dodgy relay - one of the relays in the front near the radiator is resposible for popping up the headlights - I have a feeling from memory it may be the left most one - but I can confirm tonight when I get home and look at the wiring booklet.
 
Just try reseating all of them

Problems fixed itself.
 
Maybe something had worked loose and by checking I\'ve re-connected it properly.
 
Happy days.
 
Loving my FC :mmmm
