1984 Ford Bronco II...
Replaced the stock headlights with LED headlights. These new headlights come on with the parking lights. Even weirder..... I can adjust the brightness of the headlights with the dimmer switch.
I want to say it's a faulty light switch, but the normal headlights worked.
The Bronco II has the display in the console that shows if a light is out. It was showing that I had a light out when I tried to install LED taillights. But it doesn't show a headlight out with the LED headlights. I thought maybe the problem could be associated with the wiring for this display.
I think I can overcome this issue by using the headlight wire to trigger a relay and feed the headlights from the battery, but I'm really bugged by this issue and trying to make sense of it.
Why are my LED headlights coming on with the parking lights, and dimming with the dimmer switch???
Would love to hear people's thoughts on this.
