    Cool High Beam lights glowing when on low beam ?

    Hi All
    I have a problem I was wondering if anyone else has come accross.
    I noticed when the car lights are on low beam that the high beam glows very red not lighting up to a full strength light. I was thinking its an earth problem
    but I cant find anything wrong with the earths. :b: one of those things that makes you pull your hair out. when I turn on the spot lights I installed they arent on on low beam. when I flick up to high beam the spots work fine. when i flick back down to low beam the sopts stay on the relay doesnt drop out. any Idea ? Please ? I know an Auto Electrician

    Sounds like there is a very high resistant joint in there somewhere that is leaking into the high beam circuit. Obviously enough to hold the relay closed.
