I think you mean "I do have dipped beam lights OK" in your last post.

Pull out relay K3, and confirm that both main beams come on when you link together pins 30 and 87 of its socket with a piece of wire. The terminals are marked on the relay.
Note that any online wiring diagrams you find for the headlamp and foglight circuits, are likely to be applicable to the US market, and differ considerably from the UK version.
