Ralph45 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I've just fitted a set of Wisamic led head lights as numerous club members have and they look great.one issue I have is that my blue main beam indicator in the speedo is permanently on with either high beam or dipped selected have I done anything stupid any ideas?

Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 4, 2022 Member Share Posted July 4, 2022 Did you do anything to the connections at the main lamp switch or the dip switch?And do you have a multimeter?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Ask an assistant to toggle the switch while you stand in front of the car. Do the two beams operate individually, or does the main beam stay on when the dipped beam illuminates?JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph45 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hello Johnathan update, I have layed the units out so I can see them and they are only doing full beam wether you put them on high or low? No I'm afraid I don't have a multimeter and no I just plugged them in as other club members I have spoken to did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph45 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hello John I missed your reply.no,it's full beam or full beam on either high or low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph45 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 I have replaced a set of gemzoe LED bulbs with these and Daves worked perfectly when installed.The new units use the same type of three spade connectors as the one ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph45 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 Nothing comes on when I select side lights on the switch they only illuminate when the second position is selected and then only full beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph45 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 Final thing I've noticed is that the entire unit is illuminated all the time it is supposed to illuminate one half on dip and then swap to the other led's when full beam is selected.

John Vine Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 It sounds to me as though the internal wiring of the lamps is incorrect. Did you get a wiring diagram with the lamps? Are there any installation options or settings?JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Have you taped around the headlamp plug inside the bowl in case a connector on the flying lead is touching the bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 How did you connect the sidelight to the halo light connector ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I would guess a misconnection when fitting the new lights. What happens when you refit an old light ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 There isn't much that you could get wrong. Wonder if it is a fault with main light switch or dip/full switch. You really need a voltmeter to follow the 12V through the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph45 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 So here we go.I have limited knowledge of electrics so rather than get frustrated I walked away to have little think about it.As far as first installation of the new units I connected the H4 connector and left the halo buletts alone just to see if the main lights were working.On my return to the car I decided to check the possibility of one of the light units being faulty and sure enough one of them connected to either side works fine,high and low beam and no permanently on high beam indicator.I disconnected it and tried the other unit either side and the problem is there on either side,only high beam and a permanently on high beam indicator so I believe one light unit is faulty.if I connect the good unit all fine but as soon as I connect the other one as well the problem reoccurs on both sides.Hopefully a replacement unit will resolve the problem.As always thank you all for the input and I shall keep you all up to date with progress.A new unit is now ordered and should be with me tomorrow.Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph45 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 SM25T,Sorry meant to say yes the original lights when reinstalled work fine so in all probability is a faulty led unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 That's good news. Hope all ok with new unit. The halo is great for daytime driving without the need for headlights. I connected sidelight wire to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph45 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 That,s something I will be doing when I get the headlight working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timb2117 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Brilliant Ralph (excuse the pun) my dalliance with LED ended up reverting back to original set up because they would only run full beam not dip, did all sorts of tricks but nothing, ended up a refund of the units.However in the middle of this the company did advise swapping right ot left so your deductions are spot on.

Ralph45 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Yay! All sorted.Today I received another led unit and shot out to the garage to plug the thing in telling myself "you just know it won't work" but it did.I now have a lovely looking set of Wisamic led headlights that work.Thank you again to everyone who offered ideas and support,it's what makes our club invaluable at times like this.Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
