R33 S1 Hid - Low Beam Turn Off When Using High Beams

[eXquiSit]

anyone know why this is?

generally my low beams are bright enough but it would be good to be able to use high and low sometimes when it is really dark

cheers

mine do that too, im pretty sure its something that was done from factory, when i got my skyline i was told by the putting my car through pits that both had to be on, i argued it with him saying thats how it is and he went and looked it up, they both dont have to be on,

i did search on here incase i did have to fix it, i think you have to do some soldering in the steering column if you want both to stay on

[MatthewT85]

looks like its more work than i though

It's easy

Remove the light stalk

2 or 3 screws from memory and pull it out

solder over 2 links (its on SAU)

all done

I have done it to 3 cars now and it takes 1 min to remove and 1 min to reinstall

time taken to solder 2 spots added equal about 10 min job

right so i wansnt imagining things, i thougth it was something like that

yup... it works a treat!
i wonder if by bridging it that it will burn out a relay?

That is why I went to the trouble of wiring up relays for my cars. Don't want to burn switches or worse.
