Title: Headlight Question
Post by: trotter on October 02, 2007, 01:58:34 PM
Quick one...

When running standard pop-ups, does the FD switch off the dipped beam when you turn on the full beam?

Just asking because when I was fitting my new HID sleeks one pair (left & right spot) turns off when the Full beam goes on. It then turns back on when the ful beam is off.

If this is the case, is there any way to wire it up to change sort this?

Sounds like its pulling off the earth from the other light,

Give it a temporary earth to check,

Hope this helps

you have to run a sep relay that cures this
i am no electrician but what happens is when on dipped beam at the moment u switch to main and u loose the live so u need a relay that as soon as u rcve power for main beam it activates the relay to give power to dipped as well..mine is wired up for this but i didnt do the wiring
