General Mk2 Punto Angel Headlights - Problem

[corky]

Hey people erm got a problem with the angel lights well i dont know who wired them up but i dont know if they wanted it to do this or... they just idiots when my side lights are on (the rings) then when i indicate (either way) the rings flash off and on opposite of the indicator light e.g.

When indicator bulb on the ring off
When ring on the indicator bulb off

they have obviously been wired up wrong anyone know which wires need to be were etc?

 

[dave]

a bad earth could also cause this

What should i look for then?

You should look at the earth wiring for the angel eyes, of course you shouldn't be indicating when your angel eyes are on without headlights anyway.

Cheers

No, go read your highway code.

Angel lights are parking lights. You don't use your indicators when parked.

When its dark you should have the headlights on.

See and be seen

Angel lights are side lights, you can have them on in the day time if you like

aaaa dave... your a genius pal

 

[dave]

aaaa dave... your a genius pal

is it fixed then?

 

[corky]

No my sidelights are used at night thats all and obviously i need to indicate, right i took a picture of the wiring the white wire is wired to the red wires and the yellow wire is wired to the black wires?

 

[corky]

right i did a video and put it on youtube just have a look at what i mean!!

 

[dave]

still looks like a bad earth/dirty plug

 

[corky]

So looking at the pic and the video you think i should just unplug them and give them a good clean?

 

[dave]

yes

 

[corky]

Would it be safe to unplug and spray WD40 on the pins? or is that not a good idea?

 

[dave]

its the wrong stuff, you want to clean them
