Where is the high beam indicator?
When you switch from low to high beams, you’ll see the High Beam indicator turn on in the dash (it’s a blue symbol that looks like a headlight).
Is there a problem with the high beam indicator?
No problem with low beams. Will post when I get a fix for the high beam indicator light. The high beam indicator gets power through the headlight. The LED lights won’t complete the circuit. You would have to add a small light bulb or resistor between the red/white and red/green left headlight wires or red/blue and red/green right headlight wires.
Why are my high beam lights not working?
On some vehicles, particularly those with HID headlights or solid-state circuit protection (Zener diodes or high beam circuit breakers) installing the wrong bulb might result in intermittent headlight operation or no high beams at all. The wrong bulb might not ignite at the right voltage or draw too much current for…
How does a high beam light bulb work?
Get familiar with the fuses and relays that control your headlights. The headlight switch usually doesn’t control the headlight bulbs directly, but through one or more relays. The headlight switch powers a relay, which powers the headlight bulb. This protects the headlight switch from the high current used by the high beam headlights.
Why are the lights on my car not working?
On some vehicles, particularly those with HID headlights or solid-state circuit protection (Zener diodes or high beam circuit breakers) installing the wrong bulb might result in intermittent headlight operation or no high beams at all. The wrong bulb might not ignite at the right voltage or draw too much current for the circuit protection’s design.
