I think, from memory that the fuse and relay layout are on the fuse box cover, just below the steering wheel and to the right.

I couldn`t tell you which ones they are though, sorry.

True but highly unlikely they would both go at the same time.

I think in all the years of driving older cars I`ve only had one stalk give me problems and never had wiring problems.

SWMBO had an Astra that both dipped beam bulbs went within a day or 2 of each other

Is it not one of the smaller black relays in the cabin fuse/relay box, same as the type for the fogs ? (can be swapped to prove)

One of the small black ones, but same as the Self Levelling one :y

It will most likely be the relay IME, failing that, the stalk (which tends to cause opposite - bringing full beam on unexpectedly, esp under braking)

relay is the top small black one in the box under steering column.with this pulled nothing happens.no main beam,no blue light either. so check main underbonnet fuse 6 and this relay .
