High bean/low beam?

I test connected the battery just to see if the lights would work. My highbeam indicator stays lit no matter what way Ipress it. The inside lights are dim, I can't remember what lights are normal driving - outside or inside?

Any pointers appr.

Cycle the dimmer switch about 20 times. I bet that fixes it or changes symptoms.

Re: High bean/low beam?

remove the wires from the dimmer switch run a wire from the battery to the plug in (one at a time) (of the three one goes the the high beam one is low and the other is from the head light switch) if you still have the one light trying to run dim then you have a bad ground on the head lights .....If every thing is running great then it is time for a new dimmer switch

I try what you suggest, the dimmer switch is a new one that came with the harness.

Re: High bean/low beam?

we think we have it figured out. I used the new halogen upgrade harness with relays in place of my OEM unit thinking if was a direct replacement. I had to read up on these new harnesses and found out you must still USE the factory harness THEN plug in the upgrade/relay unit in. errrrr, that's what I get for not reading all Taiwanese on the package.
