I find my dipped lights to be rather dim and so quite unsafe for night driving. Ive got an MK2 ELX JTD that is lowered by 35mm (actually this is irrelevant as lights have always been funny) and no fog lights. I took it to an independent local garage who were equally baffled by the system.
o{0}[0]o)=======(o[0]{0}o
Above is a sketch of my headlights. When I turn the light knob once, Parking lights activate (denoted by underline in square brakets)
When I turn the light knob twice, Parking lights (denoted by underline in square brakets) and dipped light (denoted by symbol in curly brakets) light up. This is the problem, its not bright enough and the aim is still low even when the adjuster on the dashboard is set to 0 (highest aim).
Now in addition, when I push lights knob back, full beam also activates (denoted by symbol in square brakets) and shows up to a mile ahead infront.
One strange thing..If I push the light knob back repeatedly like as though I was flashing someone, after about 5 times I hear a relay click and only the high beam and parking lights stay on (denoted by underlined brackets). dipped beam goes off.... Makes me wonder if this is actually instead the dipped beam.
Im wondering if there is something electrically wrong or if this is normal.
Any suggestions appreciated.
