no main beam
hobbit:
As chris has said with the crappy wiring on standard discos, upgrade the circuits with new wire and relays, using the original feed wires for switching the relays, only problem which is what happened to me is the low power dim dip feed through the dip headlight feed can cause the relay to chatter
Dr Neil:
thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply :D I go along with your thoughts to replace the wiring and install a relay to stop the same thing happening again,i'm just surprised there wasn't one in the first place. I have already ditched the dim/dip control as i had a problem with the dip beam not working last year :cry:
hopefully i'll get chance to have a look at the weekend. If i replace the wiring and install a relay can i fit 100w bulbs?
ChrisW:
As long as the wiring is rated to suit the 100W lamps yes but I'd be wary ref heat discharge etc.
Upgrade the wiring first - you may be surprised how much difference taking a couple of metres of cable out makes to the volt drop between the battery and the lights :wink:
ChrisW:
Somebody should write in to the technical pages at LRE - apparently stalk failure is not a problem and very very uncommon :roll: :lol: :lol:

I may be wrong but I thought E marked headlamps are only road-legal to 55W.
