My e30 isn't used very much any more. She is still started and looked after but as I'm 17 and learning to drive she isn't used in favour of a smaller engined car. I noticed the other day that the offside headlights weren't working and i was curious as to whether that will be a result of the car being sat up.

bit of a hard one to say really without seeing the car to tinker with, i take it you have checked your bulbs and connections?

Car not being used shouldn't affect the headlamps, unless there's some developing corrosion somewhere.
Both main and dipped beam lights not working?

Newly fitted superwhite bulbs. Driverside fine but passenger side not working. Will have to check connections in the daylight, is there anything to look for in particular guys?

if your bulbs are new could just be a faulty bulb, especially if they are cheapo chinese jobbys off ebayRacer75 wrote:Newly fitted superwhite bulbs. Driverside fine but passenger side not working. Will have to check connections in the daylight, is there anything to look for in particular guys?
