High beams playing up, Dim lights altogether.

[snowybill]

hey guys, wel as the title said, my lights are very dim, when on low beam, and then when i flick onto high beam, only one side works, and the indicators on the drivers side stay on until i switch off high beams. If it helps, i have VT blinkers cut into the front guards.
any help or suggestions as to what the problem might be would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Snowy.

check:

wires
alternator how many volts its charging at
earthing points

um few other things i cant think of atm

[Nackerz]

also the fuse box melts so check that its an easy fix to rewire some relays in there instead of running it through the fusebox as that melts

check for blown bulbs..

Would have to be a melted wires / fuse box. thats just too odd.

[snowybill]

cheers.

Id say it wires too.. i had the high and low issue..

you might wanna check the the addon indicators??? could be using to much power...blowing bubls etc..

[snowybill]

ahh yes, okay, well as im not too auto electrically minded, i am just going to take her to the guy i do who does my auto electric work, and have him put in new indicators, and my central locking kit and fix my cig lighter socket so i can charge my gps. Will let you guys know how it goes

lol, I have the same issue in mine...even down to the drivers side. With mine, it's corrosion inside the main light harness....follow the wires coming out of the headlight back behind the battery and you will find a white (once upon a time) plug...wriggle it, jiggle and wrestle it...see what happens

I had issues with my lights (high beam) I ended up with dad's help, rewiring (to a relay) only on one side of the car (right hand beside my battery) for both left and right (high beams) as i kept melting the fuses. I also ran a few extra earths too and put a seperate new fuse holder off the old one (it looks pretty cool) but my high beam fuse holder is bugger (too many melt downs). Also replaced my indicator / lights leaver and it's premo now. Go the VL!!!!

hey guys, after all it was a blown bulb. lol
