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... -_-

I had the same thing years ago with a different car. After months and months and hundreds of dollars, it turned out to be a dodgey earth in the trailer plug.

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

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.
