Not sure I really dont see the point I never use the high beams. Either way I just want to make sure they stay working a few more days before I hook it up(if I do). The high beams work without the shutter. The plastic insulation would be good but it diddn't fit. That's why I took it off.

jetblk328i · 09-23-2007, 08:49 AM

well at least thats right, heh, anyways it just worked after you left it there overnight, or did you modify the wiring some more

I am I have off tomorrow and I am getting up bright and early and everything is coming back off and I'm starting over. I am going to check the connections inside the housing too.

jetblk328i · 09-23-2007, 06:49 PM

good idea....hmm perhaps you really did jinx them, i really think its the connections or else it wouldnt be on off like that and happen whenever....

Me too It has to be the connection but I don't see how its the ground I made. I think maybe inside

I decided to splice 2+4, so far it works. Both lights on for several hours already, service engine light never came back, check low beam on for just about 15 secs.

Really???? I tried that and it didn't work. You have had them on for hours straight?

tinobw · 09-23-2007, 08:21 PM

Yes approx 3 hrs (1hr idle, drove for 1hr, and another 1hr idle), hope this will end.

tinobw · 09-23-2007, 08:27 PM

I get that. I mean once you spliced the wires for 2 and 4 how did you push the wire into pin 2 on the plug?

tinobw · 09-23-2007, 09:57 PM

I'm using similar female connector like what in the link that you posted, so instead to chassis, I cut it short and connect to splice no 4 wire.
