One headlight won't turn off....

[evertonmarc]

Morning chaps,

I have a strange problem....got into work today, and someone said "think you left your lights on...".
Gone out to check, and indeed, one of the lights is on.

Thing is, my lights are turned off.....I turned on and off again, and its still lit up.....

Any ideas?

Leon 54 plate, Cupra TDI

check for a pinched wire under battery?
check the switch itself

Feel like a bit of a t*t!
One fo the guys in my office said "you haven't left the indictators on have you....".

Well yes i had!

Seems odd that leaving an indicator on, means one of your headlights comes on!

Yep - This was going to be my suggestion.

It's your parking light. Depending on which way you flick your indicator it'll leave the front/rear OS / NS light on as a marker. It's a requirement in some parts of europe iirc.
