Could also be the headlight switch itself. I'm now on my 3rd headlight switch in 1.5 months!

 

I fitted a headlight switch last month at U*****. After about 2 weeks, the switch died. Same symptoms. High beam ok, no low beam light. Went back to the shop and they replaced the switch. The 2nd switch lasted about the same 1.5 weeks. This time, the switch button pushed the wire connector out. These switches are super low quality ones. It's a pain to have to go back to the shop but at least they have the decency to replace it for free.

Can try lah but I use saliva to do lubrication leh...it has the properties that provides the ablity to lubricate and provide better conductivity.

1. u cant see d gap cuz it will b very close with d disc. but wat u can do is to spin d wheel, it shld b able to move freely without any immediate resistance.

 

3. s4's each caliper has 4 pistons. i replaced mine at $25 per piston 2 yrs ago. bear in mind, the price of replacing d piston is additional to d price of servicing d brake calipers.
