basically i got some new h7 headlights as replacements for my h4 headlights. i bought a h4 to h7 adapter setup, including a relay and a 20amp fuse. basically my problem is when i flick on the high beam everythings alright. but when i flick them off it blows fuses 31 and 32 which are for low beam... any ideas people? need help asap please Smile

Sounds like the adapter is wired up wrong.

Remove the relay in it, and see if the fuses blow still

If you want the dipped beam to stay on when the main beam is, then yes

MOT failure if its not working Wink

You dont need adaptors with a relay to go from H4 to H7 on a 206 anymore, that problem is solved much easier Wink

Until you drive down an unlit country road & go for main beam Wink

wouldnt it be easier to number the wires and try them in each slot til it works...?

You could test the cables, you should have and earth, positive to batt, trigger wire from full beam (live when full beam on) and cable to dipped (live when dipped is on)

Once you have worked out the cables, number them 1 to 4 and post what they do on Here and me or Someone will tell you what cable number to connect to what on relay,


That's one option,
