Switch Unit?   
When I try to use the full beam on my espace I have to keep hold of the 
lever as it doesn't click on and off anymore. Also when I am driving at 
night an have the normal beam on the main beam doesn't work, I have to 
switch to dipped beam to be able to use the main beam. I think its the main 
headlight switch that's gone if you can confirm this I will order it. 
Renault want 75 for the switch, does anyone know anywhere else I could get 
one cheaper?

Thanks
Simon

Eh? Dip beam *is* "normal beam".

Might be worth checking the relays. Should be simple enough to check by 
substitution.

GSF, EuroCarParts would be worth a check.

Breakers yard.

FWIW, my Audi required an indicator stalk/dip switch back in 1990. It cost 
80 back then.
