Can't believe i missed that - fuse blown - all good now. Many thanks for the answers to some stupid questions :D

was hoping but no. When on the high beam there doesnt appear to be any power going to the right hand headlight

I was wrong - on a high beam, the left hand light goes to high but the right hand side turns off.... Still an earth issue?
