The internal wires to the bulb are only red and black. The wiring coming in to the multiplug is of many colour combinations. Logically, those coming in serve different purposes.



All fuses and relays in the engine bay fuse box are okay, though I never imagined that one would only serve one light bulb.



I really cannot imagine a dodgy wire being anywhere but from the light unit to the loom. The wiriing diagrams that i've found vary, and don't exactly let me pin down one wire.



Covered it all up and will have another go tomorrow.
The damaged wiring pictured above was actually hidden below the headlamp, only being apparent when the lamp unit was removed.
