    My car wiring has always been kinda stuffed, but last week i put in some new headlights as the old ones were on the way out.

    Now whenever i turn on my lights only highbeams come on, no matter whether they are activated or not, now i know the headlights work fine as i tested them, any clues?

    or should i just bite the bullet and drop the Z into an auto electrician?

    Cheers Guys:thumbsup:

    No all the fuses are fine, it just appears that my car likes high beams now, also my driving lights arent working either :(

    Hey JayKay it sounds like a relay has welded its contacts closed

    the next thing is to locate it and pull it apart and clean the points.
    There are actually 3 relays that I know of in the black box (passengers side on front guard) :unsure:
    You need a little screwdriver to push on the tongue on their side in order to release them.:rolleyes:

    Then use a multimeter and check the relay coil and the switch position:) not hard as there is a circuit diagram on top of the relay with numbers which correlate to the pins underneath.:wacko:

    Have I lost you yet well if I have take it to an auto-electrician :thumbsdown: but if you are a little handy you should be able to work it out from there.:) Drop us a line if you get stuck.:rolleyes:

    regards John :cool:
