I did. Turns to be the #3 fuse was burnt. But as long I put it a new one, it will be burnt shortly.

Thanks for the hint! I was looking on Atlantic British but their dimmer switch is getting me confused. We’re talking about the rheostat **** switch right?

That is the wrong switch -- it's a floor-mounted high-low headlight beam switch. Note that it doesn't say it's for a Discovery. The D2 dashboard dimmer is a roller switch.
