Shaddow Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hi,I am in need of some urgent help.Got home tonight in the car and parked up as normal, switching headlights off and locking car. I later noticed my car's headlights were on and on full beam. I walked out unlocked the car and opened the door. The stalk was set to off and there was no "beep" from the open door to say my lights were on.The "Blue" high beam icon on the dash was illuminated and I could not switching it off. Starting car, switching lights on and off, switching high beam on and off on the stalk but nothing.I removed the 10A fuses from the in-car fuse box for both high and low beam, but the lights remained on. I unplugged the lights which turned them off, but the blue icon on the dash remained on and could only get it to go out by removing the battery connection.I have HID's fitted and have had them without fault for many years. The headlights worked fine on the 1mile drive home from work today (10min before noticing lights were on after getting home).Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Shaddow Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Thanks. Ill follow all wires around today and check for melted wires or bad connections. Was just surprised it happened all of a sudden after severl years of it working fine. So I am confident the wiring is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaddow Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 All Sorted.Seems it was my HID Ballast that had a fault. Disconnected and fitted some crappy standard bulbs. All good now. Ordered a new HID kit, so should have good light again soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
