Title: lighting help!!
Post by: hairyhoover on October 01, 2008, 07:49:53 PM
Hi, I’ve got a very strange lighting problem.
All my lights including my indicators work fine when the side lights are on (without main beam), when I turn to full beam things start to get very strange…
My side lights and main beam go dim on the drivers side and the indicator lamp also comes on (constantly – no blinking) also very dim. This also turns on the turning lamp on the dash board.
Very annoying… any ideas?.
