Hello,

Interesting problem.

As soon as the sidelights or headlights are switched on the full beam comes on. The indicator on the dash goes blue and upon checking the headlights, they are in fact on full beam. Switching between full and low beam just causes the ful beam to become slightly brighter when the switch is in the full beam position.

It is a pre facelift car, but i did fit facelift lights a few years back. At the time I made up a wiring loom... but I dont think this is shorting and causing the problem.

So what do people think? Headlight relay stuck?
Of maybe the headlight stalk is worn out?

Thank you in advance

either the relay or the stalk. you will need to get the multimeter out to check.

Pull headlamp multiplugs and check live outputs for side / dip and main beam. Dont forget to check earths.
