Default Kia Pride Headlight Issue, Please Help!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, and was hoping someone would know
a little bit about autoelectrics..... My car (Kia Pride LX) just failed its MOT because the lights do not work on full beam. Everything else works, I can also flash people up for short moments on full beam, but once positioned in the 'full beam position' they do not work. The guy who looks after my car has checked just about everything, including the headlight relay. In the end we thought it was the switch, so we changed that for a new one. And it is still the same!!! Any advice anyone????

welcome to the forum
while searching the forum, add info to your profile - location, car you drive and so on.

To your lights issue.
it looks like a switch anyway. Relay is one, one wires going to the bulb, one relay (here I am not so sure, but I assume one for high beam). The only one thing that can have two lines is a switch.
I will try to find something more about it.
BTW - did the lights work before? Do you know when they stopped working?
