Levante intermittent front light failure

[Timo]

I hope this is the correct place to post.
Hi all my drivers side/side seems to go off after about 2 minutes of driving. I get a notification on my dash saying side light out. If I twist the switch it seems to come back on for a while.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Tim

Bulb and ignitor needs replacing, £150 on Levante, Ghibli needs front bumper removal so £220

Thank you for the reply Conaero
I’m really sorry the message actually said “Low beam headlight out” the light seems to go out after about 1 min and if I flick to full beams the lights go back on for a while and then off. It seems to be the round light in the cluster.
Also the indicator on the same side stopped working for a while earlier and then was ok.

All a bit frustrating.

Still think it’s the bulb but might be worth fiddling with the connectors just to make sure

Thank you again Conaero,
I’ll have a look tomorrow.
I think I can access the bulb from the Engine bay otherwise it’s wheel and liner off.

Hi again.
I have bought a new bulb which arrives tomorrow.
I have just run a scan and these codes come up.
Looks like a bad earth maybe.
Thanks Tim

Thanks for everyone’s help.
It ended up being both the head light ECU’s
Over the week the indicator stopped working and the main light started flashing.ECU’s replaced and problem solved.
Bumper off and light out to fix.
I had to get used parts from Eurospares as the main dealer couldn’t locate the parts. Great service. I called them at 4.30 and the parts arrived at 9 the next morning.
