Title: sleek lights
Post by: rxsevenfd3s on March 23, 2008, 08:39:30 PM
hello i would like some help
 
 I\'ve just upgraded my lights to hid and when my lights are on dipped they are how i want them. But when my lights are on high beam i would like both dipped and high bulbs working and at the moment they are not I\'m running a sleek light with h3 bulb any info would help. i would guess i need some king of relay if this is true which one and were from.

Yes you would need to do some wireing mate:

You would need a fresh relay, power source & splice the new power lead in to the std dip loom, then use the std high beam wire to power you high beam bulbs & act as the switch for the new relay.... this then allows both sets to remain on when on full beam.

You\'ll need to get this sorted ASAP as the HID\'s don\'t like to be turned on & off....... you will burn out the balast very quickly!!

i got the same problem, as the standard setup is for main on/dipped off and vice versa you have to rewire the headlights to stay on.

Gonna look at getting an autospark at somepoint in the near future to sort it for me.....
