    Headlight issue

    The headights on our silver Festiva stopped working. They were working when I pulled it into the garage the other day. The daytime running lights are still working. When I turn the headlight switch I can hear the park light relay doing its thing and the headlight relay clicks when it's supposed to. I've tried bulbs I know are OK with no change. The "head" fuse is OK too. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Ian

          Well, the problem with the headlights turned out to be me! I had pulled the headlight and wiper switches to install an intermittemt wiper setup and forgot one of the plugs when I put it all back together. Oops. Headlights are now shining as they should
