Hi I recently put parabolic one piece head lights in. I followed the instuctions in the tech torque section. When i put parkers on. Everything is fine. When i put it on the next switch up everything is well. and when i put it on high beam the left side is fine. But the ride side the high beam comes on but unlike the left side the right outer beam dims so much you can hardly see it. I made sure i had grounded the wire you had to properly and i had.
I'm just stumped for ideas. Has anyone had the same problem?

Try a search - these symptoms sound a bit familiar, and maybe only in the last month or two?
Check fuses and relays, they are individual for L/R (relays are, anyway). Check a new bulb, or at least inspect the bulb on right side for anything unusual. Check connectors and relay for that right one isn't getting hot (sign of poor contact, high resistance).
This does sound familiar - just dunno how you can limit the search results to a manageable amount. Best of luck.

Yeah. I was going to search but i had no idea what to check. I checked the engine bay fuses. Everything was ok apparently. Checked all the connections. Tryed two different bulbs.

check you earthing on that light
if you original light worked fine then you've obviously ****ed up somewhere
what you are seeing is a back feed

I checked the earthing. Checked all the wiring. It's identical to the other side. I may have ********d up somewhere bad this time.
