Spotlight wiring woes...
karlo:
Clean and check the earth's on the headlamp plugs at the bulb, squeeze the terminals in the plug up slightly to get a better grip on the bulb.
Ask me how I know :roll:
Disco Matt:
The other theory I was able to suggest was that the multi-function unit might have some bearing on this, as according to the wiring diagrams on the RAVE CD it has a connection to the dim/dip relay.
It completely puzzled me as I wired my spots in exactly the same way (just with all four together rather than a couple of pairs) and they work as intended - on with full beam if the extra switch is on, off with dipped beam.
Evilgoat:
Actually Karlo has a good point. Check plugs and earths.
Range Rover Blues:
Yes, it takes about 10.5 volts for a 12 volt relay to close, but less than 5 volts to hold it closed, so an earth leakeage caused by a faulty commmon earth on the bulb could be responsible.
If that is the case, you might find your dipped beam gets better too ;)
