everything is great,your driving home from work,you meet another car,dip the lights then go back to main beam and surprise surprise...TOTAL DARKNESS!! Go back to dip and everything fine again.
This problem is intermittent as they work from time to time.
Anyone advise on where to start looking for the fault???
Cheers

My Sud did this a while back. Traced the problem to a sticking relay.
Hope that helps

Actually not Italian electrics, but most dim/dip relays (which do seem to go wrong alot) in the 33 are/were made by Bosch! So it may actually be dodgy German electrics
