Headlight problem

[gratts]

Hi! I have a problem when one headlight is on normally and the other is just a sidelight and if I push for full beam, the other side goes normal and the one that was working goes on to side light haha

If I do it fast it looks like a police car! Sometimes it corrects itself but now it seems to be stuck like that. It's a super s so has the extra lights on bumper.

Confused!!

I had the same problem... Was my own fault.
Have you had problems with the headlights before...? When I had this issue the wires were actually in the wrong place if you have a multimeter test all wires are correct.
I'd check for damaged wiring shorting on metal... In short start again!

maybe a dim-dip problem gratts ? (fitted to some models)

I didn't think dim dip was on the super s Frank I thought they bought that in in 96? When it would of been an SR...

my super s had it tom, it runs the headlamps on 6v each basically

I bypassed it on mine when It would stay on all the time.
That's the first super s I've ever know to have it then apologies

It comes back on after it's warmed up but not on it's own, I have to press stalk in like I'm putting it on full beam, driving me crackers haha

Comes and goes, when I've driven for 5 mins it comes back on so it's possibly the switch but I'm baffled

Just had the steering column open, no sign of a dim dip, just wires, no relays! All fuses are ok, no obvious corrosion

It's right tucked up inside the dash if you remove the clock dome and shine a torch down the right hand side you should see the control
Box for it it's a bugger to get to!
Multimeter? I'd check for breakdown of wiring... If it comes and goes it could be a jolt from the road shaking something loose.

Going to try a new switch, will that fit my 93 super s ok?

Put on lights and move wires about I'd say n/s light wires infront off battery ul see a bit off a loom there were the lights cum out

Well, I got a switch from a primera for £11.95 and it's fixed! Happy with that!
