High beams stopped working
#16
So I have the same issues on a 2005 Coupe
My High beams are not working... I have brand new bubs and I installed those SPec D head light and I am pretty sure the high beams worked before and after, Well I know 100% they worked before I did the install
( I am new to the 35) But I replaced the yellowing headlights with the spec d units and I tested everything before buttoning up everything back up. Then one day I turned on the light and I think I had them on auto and they
shut down with the High beams on while I was taking picture of the car. From there I have not had High beams.
As I said I am new to this car and learning more about it but sadly I am not having much luck with the high beams
I downloaded the factory service manual and I checked all the coloured fuses for continuity; all was well.
I am not sure how to test the relays... The owner before me some how lost the bloody fuse box over so
so I have a print out of the location and operation of the fuses and relays.
I keep reading about this body control module but I am not sure where this is on the car.
Also let me ask this... The stock headlights have a yellow wire that clips onto a nipple like structure on the metal ring that locks the bulb in place...
I think that was on the the high beams lights. The aftermarket lights had no place for this yellow wire to clip on to.
Could that be my problem ? does that wire need to be connected? I will ask this in its own thread... just putting that question out there though.
Thanks!
