Z4 e86 2006 Headlight not working

[AbrahamSaul]

Hi,

My driver's side headlight has stopped working on high beam. Both when I pull to flash or push to put high beam on. I've had the bulb replaced and still no luck, the old bulb was then tested and works so have ruled out it being a bulb issue. I've also checked the fuses in the glove box and all seem to be okay.
I've phoned up my local indie and they've said as I have the angel lights, if there is an issue with the headlight itself, it will have to be replaced completely.
I've had a read and am aware it could be the ignitor, ballast, a grounding issue, bad wire etc.
The mechanic at halfords who changed the bulb has said I'd need to go to an autospark garage because it's an electrical issue.
Is anyone able to shed some light on the situation and perhaps provide some advice?

Cheers.

Sounds like the mechanical shutter for the high beam is stuck/burnt out.
