i have checked all the earths and they are all separate going to the chassis

the lights are new + the stalk is also new

any ideas

tis possible for two dip beams to fail coincidentaly ,and poor new switch especially if pattern but you must have poor earths in light holders etc

Red single
Brown
2red and black
Blue which goes to the indicator stalk
Is this ok

I have taken off the red and black wires of the switch and now the front lights are working as they should but non of the back ones are yet

Thanks it turned out to be a broken green and White wire that goes to the back.
Thanks for the advice

Have a look in the land rover manual - there's a diagram of the rear dash panel showing all the connections and colour codes.
