Guest cmd-cab Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Evening all.... Have got a little problem with my lights, when i put the switch on main beam, just the side lights are on and when the switch is in the side lights position, the main beam comes on but not very bright, also there seems to be alot of wiring hanging down behind the dash just above the pedals. Any help is appreciated. Steve P.S. Its a mk4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steelcabby Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 also bad earths can cause that mate. check to see if any are broken at the front by the headlights. they come off seperate and attach to the inner chassis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SG1 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I had the same,and found out that by moving the two little white relays (under bonnet) while the lights were on what was meant to be main beam,they got brighter.Been ok since,so maybe have a look into that mate.
