Weird headlights

Post by Fisch »

Okay call me good or daft but I have given my T25 to my son as I have moved to the South of France and he is in Somerset. He hasn't used it for a while but the headlights seem to be playing up.

When one low beam one is on high the other on low, when you click high beam they switch around, again one of each.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Has someone played with the fusebox? On the early fusebox you can simply swop the connections around behind the fusebox for fuses 4 to 6inc. They should be wired as:
3. Lh low
4. RH low
5. Lh high
6. RH high

I had a similar problem after refitting the fuse box following fan replacement, I had not fitted it into the mounting exactly & it was shorting on the mounting
