Mk5 headlight lighting up dull

Postby Lynch807 » Wed Oct 04, 2017 7:11 pm

Hi, as with all mk5s when I have my van running with the side lights on there is a dull glow in.the headlight. This as a result sends power to the switch on the relay for the spot lights.. is there any way around this?

This is called dim dip it’s the dip beam on at reduced brightness,
I think you just need to remove a relay to disable it.
It’s accually very handy but Surely your spot lights are wired up to come on with main beam not dip deam :?:

Yes the spots are on the heads, but because the head light bulb lights up then it switches the relay on! Any idea what relay?
