I just finished painting the plastics of the morettes, went to fit them and i cant get the dipped beam to work on the offside light. The other lights work fine but the dipped projector light just wont work, i tried different bulbs but nothing....

 

Here is a picture of the back of the lights. As you can se there are one black and one blue wire going into the bulb and then a black and yellow cables that come out and go into the main 3 pin plug. However, the yellow wire doesnt go anywhere, i tried connecting it with the black wire but still nothing, any ideas?

The nearside light is even more confusing...

there doesnt seem to be anything to clip into the bulb on the dipped beam.... why is this?

 


please help Sad

Main beam wouldn't work if it wasn't earthed properly (if the wires are secure on the bulb)

I have two seperate earths on mine for each bulb, had to secure one as when I bought them it was dangling around..

If you like them why send them back? Just redo the wiring yourself.

All you have to make sure is that both earths connect to the earth feed (one of the spades on the H4 plug) and that each light (dipped and main) connect to the correct spade on the H4 plug, connect some spades to the bulb missing the connectors.

Pretty simple really

Unless you want to wire in that relay attatched to the back of one of the lights, then thats a whole new ball game Wink

Please Dont take any of my posts as written fact. They are simply my opinion and although to the best of my knowledge true, the information within them may well be incorrect.

Any work you undertake as a result of my posts is done so at your own risk Smile
