take the bulb out and see if it blows the fuse
if it does you have a wire fault down to ground

thanks very much for the quick reply, like you say if it blows while the fuse it out it could be a wire fault down to ground, how would i get round fixing that??

first you would have to find the chafed/burnd/broken wire
check the exposed moving bits first plug at headlight and wire to the loom from the headlight
