I've had enough.
Right i've had enough with this stupid VT.
Can anyone think of any part of the car that could be causing the highbeams to draw small amounts of power from the passenger low beam (when the high beams are off), and only the drivers side highbeam to work (passenger low beam dimming at the same time). If the relays are all working, the fuses are all working, and the lights themselves have been replaced?
It's something on the car side of the wiring, behind the 6 pin plugs that connect into the lights... Cannot work it out.
Might buy a Ford... -_-

Replaces the relays & fuses. An go from there.

well i just spent $300 on lights (that dont fit properly) and globes to no avail. Next step is all the relays and fuses and switches and stalks.. failing that am auto electrician and hundreds of dollars....

It will be an earth problem. Check all the earths at the head lights and the tail lights, and also the relay block. Make sure all the plugs are clean and dry as well.
Oh, and check the high/low beam switch on the indicator stalk, all the head light power goes through that.
I crashed me car late last year and after I fixed the panels replaced the headlight and had the exact same issue. Took it to an auto elec and he fixed it for $20. Don't know what the issue was but it might be wise to get it looked at
So I might have damaged the wiring to cause that!?
Buy a ford! Lol they have as much problems as Holden's do lol. Buy a Toyota camry
By the time you factor in new lights/globes/fuses/relays, you probably would come out in front going to a sparky. I fix everything mechanical on my car but I don't F&#K with the wiring.
That's exactly right long man! Mexhanic stuff is easy but you have to be a pro when it comes to electrical stuff!!

All the ones who've gone for the dodgy earth solution have my vote.
A dodgy earth on a low voltage DC system will cause all sorts of back-feed problems which are very puzzling and, after spending considerable time and effort trying to find the fault, usually without much success, very frustrating and annoying.
If you have very limited electrical knowledge then I suggest it would be best to take your vehicle to an auto electrician who is a lot more familiar with these types of faults and knows how to isolate, and where best to test, the various parts of the circuit until the fault is located. Good luck!

Cars cost too much.
+1 to bad earth.
Seen a bad earth leave parkers on on a truck. Even if the lights were off.
