Brights arent working

When my headlights are up my brights don't work. And when my headlights are down i just hear a clicking noise and they still don't work.

Any ideas ? I would have just bought another stwitch from ebay but they are all for LHD.

Possible the bulbs are burnt out. Check for 12V on the red/white and red/black wires pluging into the back of the light. One is low and one is high but I can't remember which is which off the top of my head. If you have 12V, the bulbs are gone.

Thanks I'll check into it although the dash bright indicator is also not working. Arent the brights signaled on/off via ground? I might have to toggle switch it.

That is a possible CPU problem. Are you having any other problems such as your factory alarm not working correctly and or the chime noises that your car makes when opening the door and leaving the lights on not working? All CPU related problems!
