Projector headlights vy

[Ghost]

So I've installed my new projector lights today but when I go to high beam my low beam switches off how do I correct this?

You don't, thats the way its wired. I have the same. If i remember correctly there is a relay that comes with the lights
that switches of the low beam when high beam is selected. You will find you don't need the lows when on high anyway.
I think it could have something to do with excessive heat build up or something, I could be wrong. Anyway, the projector low beam is a cut off beam which means the beams end abruptly. It is completely different to a standard headlight. I found it doesn't serve any purpose or make any difference if the low beam is on or not.
If thats the way they are designed, don't go altering them. You will probably stuff the lights and more than likely void the warranty.

So I had a look at the one's on my 02 Monaro and they are 2 independent lights, low is the projector and high is the inner light near the parker.

Oh and they both come on when high beam is selected, hope this helps.

Yeah the monaros are wired different ill have to go to an auto elec and have them bridge the wires

I think it's also a problem for HID installation.

Thanks your a legend ill get onto that the only other problem I came across tonight was when I had my low beam on it looked like i was only getting power to one side of my light from inside the cabin but on the out side both lights are working so ill have to do a little adjusting when I get around to doing the mod ill do a how to thread here so it's easier for other people
