There is a seperate fuse Ciaran but I can't remember which one until I get to my own bike or workshop manual which are both at home. I'm currently up near the border sorting telephone exchnge problems and will be here until tomorrow I think. The upside is that I'm gettin to use some really fast web connections for free for the few days!!!
If you have'nt sorted it by the time I get back let me know and I will phone you and talk you through it if possible.

Ciaran, Fuses nos. 12 & 5 need to be checked. If these check out okay then you need to check the relay for the dipped lights (number 8). With the ignition on give the relay (it's marked so you can't hit the wrong one) a few taps and wiggle it around to see if the dips come on. If they do the relay is faulty. The low beam relay on the 1500 sometimes gets a bit burnt on the contact pins so check them out and clean/tighten the connections if needed as it may save the cost of a new relay.
