no dip, or main beam/flash...

Post by jabasco »

i have been told the unit is burnt out when swapping my steering wheel. whilst the garage sorted the wheel, i am left with just sidelights, but if i hold the indicator stalk back, i get dip/normal headlights, if you know what i meen? lol. if the unit is burnt out, any ideas where i can get a replacement? i had a look at gsf, but not sure what i am looking for?? yeah i know, am a thicko!!! my full beam and flash died a while ago, but my headlights were fine, but now it seems i have lost that now!! hope this makes somekind of sense guys????

does sound like all you need is a new indicator stalk. a headlight wiring loom upgrade probably wouldn't be a bad idea too. you'll get improved headlights and it shouldn't happen again
