Help please!

The headlight on the passenger side of my iS won't work. I've swapped the bulbs but no joy.

I had a problem installing my HID kit with it not working on that side and swapped it all back to standard bulbs. Now even these aren't working on the passenger side!

I don't use the car much so hasn't been an issue but It's got an MOT due in January so don't want to have it fail for something so stupid as a duff headlight.

Any suggestions??? Could it be the headlight unit itself or is it more likely to be the headlight wiring loom or something on the car?

had the same prob with my car, turned out to be a split wire which i sorted, then started being intermittent which was a dodgy earth wire..
if you can, chek theres a supply coming to the bulb when you turn the headlights on.. if there isnt then its prob a split wire.
