StuRox Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Howdy all, I am trying to locate the wire that switches on the dipped beam from the steering stalk - does anyone have any idea on the easiest place to locate it, or what colour it is? Its on a 300TDi 1996 model in case they are different. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near-side dip....blue/pink : main beam....blue/slate Off-side dip....blue/black : main beam....blue/orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuRox Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 not wanting to go from that feed, as it switches off the dipped when main beam engaged, so trying to trace the wire from the actual switch on the stalk before it goes to the light module box......

Hi, i have a similar problem but sometimes i can get normal lights but sometimes just sidelights and the full beam light stays on the dash? Any ideas??

gripper Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 mine does the same sometimes, it's the earth on the drivers side lamp not earthing properly, wiggle the terminals and the full bean light should go off, unless it's the light module box or the dim/dip module.

StuRox Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Well, had a look at the wires from the headlight switch, and the dipped beam on my Disco was a solid blue wire....so I have now have a feed going to my relay for new circuit - jobs a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
