Dodgy light wiring?

[Fingers 0]

Guys,

 

Wonder if anybody has come across this problem, I have had a look through the other threads, but cannot find anything.

 

When I brake, my headlights come onto dipped beam.

 

I am guessing it might be a dodgy earth point or something.

 

Any suggestions?

check your brake light bulbs.... odds are that one of them has blown and shorted across to the tail lamp side of the bulb. When you press the brakes it's putting power into the tail lamps and powering all of the lights...

 

Not a massively common problem, but it has come up before here... 8)

Cheers,

 

Seem to go through more than expected brake light bulbs, so could well be what you are suggesting (one every 6 months or so)

 

Thanks man.
