I got pulled over the other day (in the snow) for having a headlight out. It took me about 1/2 hour(in the snow) to prove to the cop that it was designed that way. I have seen that a few of you have made it so both work all the time. how is it done? thanks in advance for any help/advice |

I just balance the switch in between the high and low beam positions. It takes a little fiddling, but it will stay in the middle eventually, then both headlights stay on. Somewhere on the board there are instructions for rewiring the headlights, but this solution is the easiest. |

There are instructions on the board. It's one of the first mods I did on my '03. Good luck.

here: a simple change to make that allows one light to stay on for low beam as normal and both beams when you switch to high for even better lighting. There is a center bulb socket in the headlight unit of the Lightnings that is not used on the US models. It serves as a running light for the European models. The wiring for the light is already in place and can be switched out for the low beam circuit. There are four wires that are housed together in the harness for the headlight. The black is a ground, the yellow is low beam, white is high beam, and brown/yellow is for the running light. If you swap the yellow with the brown/yellow in the harness the running light circuit will now light the low beam and stay on all the time. The high beam circuit will no longer interrupt the circuit powering the low beam light. |

Copy FMVSS 108, have the cop read it, and tell him he is a . |
