Ok no full beam staying on flashes ok, no dipped lights, side lights and rears working ok.
I'm sure I heared somewhere they don't have relays?
this was the first thing I would have looked at. they were fine sunday night.

Hi LHD...

mine did this after we had removed steering wheel.....we hadn't relocated the little plastic catch that holds the lights on....

It hasn't broken has it?

The flasher and sidelamps are fead streight off the battery (terminal 30), the headlamps are fed from the X terminal, ie come from the ignition switch (I don't think they actully go through the releaf relay but operate it). Check to see if anything else on the X curcuit like fan blowers, foglamps, heated screens work, if they don't work then that'll be your problem.

If they are fine then check the power feed to the headlamp switch, then the dipswitch, after that it splits into the left and right, main and dip fuses so I'd be surprised if a fault down that end took out everything in one go. If its a UK spec van with working dimdip they don't work through the dipswitch so should still work even if the dipswitch has broken.

I had the same on my LHD Westi.

It was a poor connection on the headlamp switch.

A faulty switch could also cause the same problem.
