Well, went out for a spin with a couple of mates, and my mate said he couldnt see my lights very well(during day).

Well after having a look, i noticed my parking light was the same brightness and does not change when i'm flicking between the parking lights and normal beam.
Is this right?

Thanks,

your parking light is a seperate bulb and won't change. but it sounds like you "normal" light has blown, and isn't working, replace the bulb, check the wiring if its not working,(make sure you have switched it on as well, quite often there is another swich that turns the lights on and another to swich between normal and full beam)
good luck

Just thought, if the parking light bulb is seperate, does it stay on when the normal headlight's on aswell, as it stays on when in normal mode.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply though, and let me know if the parking light is the normal light, as its not very bright.

Well just looked in a manual, and it is 2 bulbs, so i think it has blown, will pop up honda shop tom and get one.
Hopefully it'll work.

Thanks hmmmnz for your thorough investigation and help mate.
