Rikki 2 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Theres a yellow plug under the drivers side arch which brings on the headlight bulbs dimly with just the sidelights on. Unplug it and it wont do it anymore!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 the yellow wire under the arch is on mk2s.first off re connect up the sidelights normally, you use the dipped beam wires for the HIDs (assuming you have twin chamber headlights, other wise it will be the only headlight wires you have and you have bought h4 HIDs so you can retain dipped/full beam)Then when they are all wired up correctly move into the car for the next step:remove the headlight switch and take out the yellow wire at position 3 labelled 56D, that is the dim dip resistor'd wire. I just popped the connector out of the plug and heatshrink'd over it and left it hanging off the loom.You should now have all lights working correctly and HIDs not flashing when on sides Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Could be under one of the headlights then! Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 nah mate its on the back of the headlight switch, if he does everything above he should be sorted. The only headlight switches that differ are the ones with headlight level adjustment dials, but seeing as they are flashing i am presuming he doesnt have that feature.
