Hey guys!
I had parra's in my car before and didnt have any problems doing the install and doing the grounding wire.
I have put the lights back and done all the wiring like before with no dirty wires or anything like that and the low beams dont work but the high beams stay on when i turn the lights on.
Anyone know the reason?
Cheers!

check how youve done the relays? might have gotten the wires to the highs and lows swapped?

All good with that. I ran the wires back to standard like when i had the exec lights and the drivers side is working but not the low beam on the passanger side but both high beams are working fine which is driving me nuts and both headlights bulbs work fine.
Weirdest is they are H7 bulbs

Edit on this. I joined the solid red from the headlight plug to the earth and the low beams come on but the passenger side still isnt coming on so maybe could be a fuse or something.
This is driving me nuts as there has been so many variations tried :(

Just check where you are grounding to. Give the area a decent sand, and possibly replace the bolt used to anchor it down.

Test the offending globe by putting it across the battery, don't go just by looking at the filament. A simple but possible possibility that it has just died on you.
Had this problem with a tail light, was going mad checking the wires, and the globe looked ok but wasn't.

Wiring is wrong.. Ive seen a few members have this issue before. Double check you got the right wires going where they need too. Im assuming you have a test light.? If it still looks good get someone else to look at it as they might pick something up that you think looks fine when its not. Some times a second pair of eyes always work a treat. If it still like that next weekend ill help you sort it at lunch.
Start with the basics and check with a test light that each wire is doing what it is ment to be doing when you trigger from the stalk. If that all good the globes are all good and working for low and high beam(dont test them off the normal headlight wiring, Do it off the battery or in another car.) if the globes are working and the wires are being triggered fine then its obvious its a issue with wires connecting to the globes the right way.

Thanks mate, actually found a problem with the left side low beam, done the ground wire and still no low beam working and the globe is fine as i tested it on the other side and it works a treat.
High beams are working fine aswell so maybe a ground wire problem but i had it working before i got it ready to solder it and cover and that so its a weird case :(
