Trying to figure out this issue with my headlights. The low beams work fine, but the high beams are very dim. My grounds are good, when I disconnect one ground, the other headlight gets to its normal brightness. The high beam indicator on the dash stays on all of the time, even when i remove grounds.
A potentially important piece of information: I have modified my headlights. I have aftermarket lights that have 5 LEDs under each headlight reflector. I rewired them so just those LEDs are on for my parking lights. The stock parking lights ONLY work as turn signals, I also modified the peanut bulb next to the headlight on each side to work as a turn signal rather than a running light.
I read on another forum that any modifications to the wiring could confuse the multi-function switch and cause this issue. Thoughts? Is my only option to take it all back to stock so my high beams function properly? Could adding a resistor for my LEDs possibly fix it? Any input is appreciated!
