Headlight Upgrade issue
« on: January 16, 2018, 12:04:48 PM »




Low Beam is top picture, High Beam bottom. When low Beam is on the high beams are barley lit... when high beams are on the low beams are barely lit.

Low beams on- high beams should have no power at all... High beams both high and low should be bright, correct?

One, check your gounds, bad grounds on one circuit will try to find ground through the other side.

Two, double check that the wiring is right, pull the plugs and check the power through the plugs. Leave all the headlights unplugged to reduce any possible back feed issues through the lights.

most the time and from fatory this is correct but i had an 86 that when the highs were on so were the lows. both had full power and when the lowes were on the highs were off.

that being said what type of "upgrade" is this? did you rewire anything or just swap lights?
