I turn my head lights on and only the left one works. Then i turn on the high meams and the standard headlights aswel as the high beams work, seems like an electrical faul, can't figure out what it would be, how do the power circuits for the lights work on these? is it don't by a relay in order to make the high beams and low beams to work at same time without turning on the high beams when low beam are only on.

Sounds to me like a blown globe... there is part of the globe on the standard setting that does high beam and then there is the separate high beam one... just get yourself a new globe and try it out.... the job is easy bu the light on the side in front of the water bottle is a really tight space so hopefully it is the other one...

Just remove the water bottle. its just 2 bolts. Not that hard. :)

But yeah. try a new bulb. Or swap left and right bulb, then you should know.

i don't think ppl understood what i meant, in this car there is the high beams which are the inside lights closest to grill and the standard outside,
when i turn on the high beam, the standard and high beam lights turn on as per normal telling me the globe isn't blown
meanwhile when i put just the standard lights on by themselves one doesn't work...

yeah, your high beams are a seperate bulb all together, however, your headlight bulb should have 2 elements in it, one for low beam and one for high. your low beam element has blown. Change the bulb and all should be fine :)

so my normal head lights has two elements in it :shock: i forgot about that, i was thinking that it was a wiring problem because the outside lights would work on high beam and not low beam, that makes all the sense. my high beam head lights are more white (arctive blue globes) than my standard lights (xenon white) so prolly a good excuse to change the bulbs. also looking at getting some white parkers aswel and install them in the high beam section like others have, i'll swap the globe over from the left side to see if thats the problem
