167548 - I23 LEFT/RIGHT MAIN BEAM HEADLAMP (ONE) DOES NOT COME ON OR COMES ON IRREGULARLY (IN ALL CONDITIONS)

One of the two main beam headlamps is not working or is working irregularly;
The main beam headlamps are controlled by the Body Computer Node via a relay located in the Engine Compartment Junction Unit.The main beam headlamp consists of a traditional bulb (known as the "auxiliary headlamp") and an electronic module connected in parallel to the bulb which supplies a coil which activates a partition which fully releases the xenon dipped headlamp.
