Hi,
I'm new to the site, I have recently bought a bugeye wrx with morette headlights. I have fitted a HID kit on dipped beam but it seems the high beam standard bulbs are not working properly.

The high beam, does not come on at all, if I flick the high beam switch the HID's just flicker on dipped beam.

If dipped beam are off when I flick the high beam switch the dipped beam flashes on. I'm not sure what the issue is, has anybody any ideas??

Could it be a fuse or do u reckon there is a wiring issue??

Cheers,

Sem

p.s had a look on search facility but there doesn't seem to be any similar posts!!

Earthing fault, incorrect wiring.

Cheers dunx. Wat u reckon, take em out and look for any loose wiring or anything. I'll have to check that all the plugs are in the ryt sockets I think?!!

Thanks for the advice!!

If you can get hold of a multimeter it would become a simple problem of what goes where....

It's very hard to diagnose from here LOL, Sorry !

P.S. Scoobs use a permanent live feed and a (separate) switched earth to operate each light. HTH.

Cheers Dunx, got a multimeter. I remember when I fitted it a couple of the connections came loose. I probably put them in the wrong plug lol.

Just have to go back to basics, Thanks for the advice mate!!

hi, ive just seen your post so i signed up to help you sort this out.

Ive had my scoob for 6 weeks, i also had this problem, as you cant see much of the back of the lights, i took them out and started probing with my test lamp, there should be 2 relays on the o/s/f headlamp and another on the n/s. One of the relays had gone down so it wasnt swithcing hence the main beam gettin no power.. simple as removing and replacing with a new relay!

Hope this helps and point you in the right direction.. theres also a 15amp fuse that feeds these.. check this before you take the lights out...

Sem

Thanx everyone for your help. Looked behind the lights and one of the high beam wires had corroded thru where it goes into the relay. Some botched crimping and spade connecting later job s done and everything is good!!

Bumping this as I have a similar problem.

Got morrettes on a bugeye, with HIDs on the headlights, however when I put my main beam on everything goes out

Also when a just flash the main beam the same happens.

Took the lights out but no visible loose connections etc...

Any ideas guys

Perhaps your hid kit is a single beam version ??

Could have been wired wrong? The Scoob wiring is switched earth, and is notorious for producing strange effects if wired wrong.

I'd be inclined to have a look and compare the wiring with some you can see on here, and on NASIOC.

It has been working fine since I had the car and fitted the HIDS in December, so it seems something has just gone and stopped working

Had it looked at yesterday and all that seems wrong is a ballast, will chnage that and see if that's causing the issue
