Calling all Bugeye wiring experts
 
Hi all

Im having trouble getting my headlights to "flash" or stay on "high beam" Ive replaced the relays and its now bought me to this stage

If i have the head lights on as normal if your driving threw town at night time this is how my lights are

Passenger side

Driver side

If i flick the "high beam" on this is what happens

Now im thinking the high beam and normal beam are the opposite way round as it would appear. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do. Ive checked the wiring on both sides and they appear to be identical

Please help someone

the pictures are a bit confusing, the first one is just the side lights (first turn on stalk)

Cheers for that mate. Ill have a look threw it and try to match it all up

its not a relay issue, its a wiring issue on the headlights, i forget what was wrong on emmas lights but it did exactly what yours are doing

I had to change the relay as it had gone in the 1st place..... Its like i say i can only think there back to front as thats whats happening. Did you wire it up the same way as in the diagram you added then it was all good??

yes i followed the diagram and there was a wire wrong, try swapping the two spade connectors around in the main beam part

Anyone got any other ideas. Im really stuck with this. Wiring seems to be the same as the diagram so im a bit lost now

Check the fuses for the headlights on the car: I've seen similar when one fuse goes.

Just checked the fuses and there all good so not the fuses, relays been replaced. I'm gonna take a picture of all the wiring tomorrow in case I'm missing something
