Re: headlights

The question is: are you getting any voltage at the lights with high-beams on? I'd grab a test light and and probe the terminals.
If no voltage, I'd check out the dimmer switch next. It is on the left side of the steering column, under the dash, above the brake pedal assembly.

Wire colors are in this diagram: http://www.austinthirdgen.org/mkport...headlights.jpg

Hope this helps.
