    Default high beam problem

    ok well driving at night the lights are fine until i click the lights switch back to turn the high beam on then only my parkers are on and both the main beam and high beam dont work i click it back again to turn high beam off and its all fine and if i hold back the switch a bit the high beam will work but i have to keep holding that. Anyone know what the problem could be?

    yeah that happens to me nearly every time i finish work on my car, i keep leaning my hand on the fuse box (in the engine bay) and high beam relay gets pushed out. just check the relays are tightly plugged in.

    Blown high beam fuse

    when you hold it back a bit it works because high beam switched on and flashing runs on different circuits, holding it a bit is flashing

    2nd that post. fixed mine the other day. Took the top off, undid the fuse rail, cut the two wires and put a spade terminal on the bare wires and shoved a fuse back onto the spade terminals...no dramas.

    I would change the globe on the drivers side the H4 standard headlight globe not the high beam globe, for starters.

    had the same prob as well and mine was the plug that feeds the whole light setup on that side parker/earth/12v to HB/LB like its a big square plug.. my prob was in the plug... if i plugged it in and pushed it tight i get this problem, if i plug it in push it tight together and then pull it back like half a mill they all work not a worry...been like that now for 24 months LOL still no dramas..

    BTW nice thread Dig
