Have you had the same issue ? do you have to remove the headlight to see it ?

you bet had the same issue..but it was happening full on as in as soon as putting the ignition on. my fault as i had the loom out when doing some work on the rad/slam panel area. forgot to tighten it back up properly. drove me crazy for 2 days stripping every panel out of the car!
yeah its kinda awkward to get at without taking the lamp or possibly the front grill.

Just looked not connected....!! fingers crossed thats all sorted no good when car 1 last year was clocked at 150 on one of the single lane straights and there trees either side of every stage.

NO LIGHTS was just not an option with the last 2 stage run in the dark..!!

No worries..me and me mates used to run our cars in the dark without lights on for kicks when we were young and crazy! but i imagine on a rally stage that would be :shock:
