Thanks, I need to know - which pin for which light. My right headlight (main bulb) isn't lightning. No current at the fuse & wiring seems fine.

1997, I think, is different to 1998, the link below only goes up to 1997, might or might not be of use to you.

It isn't the headlamp switch if a main beam bulb is out.

Hi Ted, what do you have in mind?

With a test light Test the input to both main beam fuses. These should both be live on main beam. Now test the output. Should both be live or a fuse is gone. Now test at the headlamp. White wire iirc. If it is live you have a bad connection at the bulb. If not, trace it back to the fusebox. Do it logically and don't assume anything and you will find the problem.
Edit: if it has torpedo fuses it is common for these to fail just due to old age.
