heh got my car back at 2PM today
moved it at 8PM, turned on my headlights and HELLO

Lo-Beam doesn't seem to be in a good mood. High Beam works, driving lamps come on, but on Lo Beam one headlight turns on very dull, and the other is completely off.

*curse words*

Something to do for the weekend I guess.

And yeah I checked it out, I have three buttons, headlamps, driving lamps, and off. Hit driving lamps, and the headlights stay down but these puppies keep running. Judging by what ProZac said, I think this changed per country. I have a sepearte button for Park lamps, and hi/lo on the steering column.

D00d, first thing to check for dodgy headlights like that is always the grounds, if they get high resistance, the current usually finds another way of getting back, and weird things happen.

hey androoz,

when you have the driving lamp button switched on, switch on Hi-Beam and then check the front of the car to see if the driving lamps are on. thats the way mine work, only on with hi beam

Yeah same with mine I have here.

it has: Driving Lights, Headlights, Off - buttons on the right side of the instrument cluster, and on the left Park, Hazards, and a button to make the headlights go up and down (for servicing I guess).

I do NOT have a button that says 'D. LAMP', its just another side button.

Edit: Just realised how old this post is

since you dragged it up, the purpose of the button on the left is to keep the headlights up if you turn them off, in japan its polite to turn off your lights at the intersection, so if you were constantly popping them up and down it would wear them out.

lol polite to turn the lights off hehehe, is it then polite to have a head on or get t-boned by truck? I have seen the way the truck drivers drive there.

i tried mine last night, they only work with the high beam on. at least one of them, looks like I need a new globe... anyone tried to rewire them to work independentlly... then I'll be like one of those new cars, i want to be like those new cars damit.. :x

Camotec · Post by **Camotec** » Sun Nov 28, 2004 2:37 pm

well they look ok during the day but they have no depth for night driving.

YEah I have them running independant, I just ran a positive wire to the dash to a switch and then i ran the positive wire from there to the lights and then i can switch them on when I feel like it, however i didn't spend the time to wire it to the stock switch. Hope this helps

Cheers
