Title: Odd Sidelight Issue
Post by: P6UL K on 07 August 2014, 21:46

Hi,

When I have the ignition on and my sidelights on the dipped beam bulbs light up as well... Not fully, just on dimly. But when the ignition is off and the sidelights are on its purely just the sidelight bulbs.

What's going on here then?

That's original, if you want to stop it then there is a yellow 2 pin plug behind the airbox. Unplug it.....

Dunno, I remember thinking mine was playing up when I first had it. :grin:

Some kind of safety feature, brighter sidelights.

Had a look this morning, I'm guessing I have to remove the air box to get to it as I couldn't see anything?
