Re: Re-wiring the headlight for Constant Low Beam
Bull, we have a similar problem with roos, but unless you're taking it slow, there's nothing much you can do if they decide to take you on. A broader beam of light would be better though.
If you select low beam, and actuate the "Passing" switch, you'll get low & high beams together. I often do this in very tight corners, where high beam doesn't spread enough, and low beam dips away to nothing as you lean into a corner. With both on, the view is improved.
I've had a look at re-wiring it so that the low beam remains on when high is selected. At the moment it is hard to say what to do, though, since I've convinced myself that there is an error in the wiring diagram. In the switch block on the left bar, there is the mode switch (which grounds pin 11 in the dash) and the dimmer switches (which should connect 12V to the low or high beam relay solenoids). Both of these switches are commoned on the circuit diagram - not possible without sparks!
I'll try to resolve this when I've got the tank off next. If anyone else can make sense of it, please let me know.
