dubboy 0 Posted September 30, 2006 Just got my car back from the body shop last night, when driving back I noticed the main beam was on in both the position on the headlight switch. It has an aftermarket loom put on it by Gavin (h100vw) What have the body shop connected up wrong to make it do this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted October 1, 2006 take out the male pics and ensure they match up to the correct colour wires on the multisockets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smee 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Sounds like the dim-dip resistor (coil thing on inside of wing by battery) has been plugged back in. Unplug the yellow plug and it should be ok. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz2004 0 Posted October 2, 2006 I fitted a new loom at the weekend but took it off as I lost control of my dip beam. Does anyone know where I can get a loom that will leave my existing dim beam at 6V? The way most of these looms work is bypassing the control of the light switch in the car and connecting the lights directly to the battery. This improves the main beam by approx 1-2V and full beam also. I checked the the dip beam on a voltmeter (first stage in switch) its up from the typical 6V to the 12V as in main beam. i.e it cuts out the first stage in the switch on the dashboard. I followed the directions as in the kit am i doing something wrong ? What’s the dim-dip resistor you mention? how does disconnecting it allow 6V to pass through to the lights if they are connected directly to the battery?

dubboy 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Cheers guys thanks for the help. Found out that they had had two wires in the wrong places. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
