BIG problems with lights,needs mk3 expert!!!!!!!
« on: 27 November 2010, 15:10 »
 :angry:   hi everyone!!!    bit cheesed off now with my otherwise mint low mileage mk3 cab 2.0 avantgarde!
when i turn on my main quad headlamps(hella),only sidelights work,and then when i turn back to sidelights ,they come on dim as they should.
the main beam works but only if i hold back switch,then they both come on.they wont stay on on their own tho.
i have checked wiring ....ok
i have replaced indicator/highbeam stalk.....ok ,no change.
all fuses ok
any ideas/anyone have similar probs?
