Well dad, glad you finally made it to the land of rotary. I must say the twins shift on your car.
It\'s been an interesting and enjoyable week, getting everything sorted on the car to get het on the road and I look forward to doing more.

So things have been moving along nicely
Got the headlight assembly all sorted and most of the damage repaired
The car still needs some paint attention but that can wait

I have purchased a HID kit for the flip up lights however when it\'s arrived there is only one H4 connector for the switching relay

I understand that if if one of the headlight bulbs are not working that is sends all the lighting system funny

Has anyone got any suggestions to sort this

I was considering installing a resistor system on the (unused) H4 plug to fool the system in to thinking there was still a bulb in there and feed the rest of the light system as it should be.

Or would I get away with simply bridging them with cables

It\'s all new to me so anyone with some experience please help

Hmm strange
I was getting some real weird stuff going on with the lights when one was unplugged

Do you think it could be a dodgy earth?
