Strange Full Beam issue

Errrm. The full beam wasn't plugged in. Plugged it in and it now works when it should. Weird that full beam did work with the headlights off though!

 

If it wasn't plugged in then it wasn't working. What it would have been doing is turning on the headlight during the flash.

I swear down hand on heart the full beam lit up when when sidelights were on, this is what confused me

 

It couldn't mate, there's no power going to them. When the sidelights are on and you pull the full beam to flash the lights it turns on the dipped beam too. On one side you would see dipped beam and main beam, on the other it would just be the dipped beam.

 

Either that or you need to get in contact with Benjamin Franklin's nearest relative and tell him their ancestor didn't know squat :D

Lol, i never knew the dipped beam came on at the same time as the full beam, ive been going by the reflection of the garage door infront of me, i thought it was the full beam but it was the dipped beam all the time.

 

I worry myself sometimes.

 

Easy to confuse the 2 of them.

 

However, believing that an unplugged bulb was somehow lighting up........ that is worrying :)

 

Occams razor ;)
