odd headlamp issue
 

Hey fellas,

Ive just bought my second silvia this month and this one is to be my every day smoker.

First issue ive found with it relates to the high beam. If i flick it on the lights dim to sidelights only. Dipped beam works fine and so do sides but not mains.
Any ideas what the likely culprit could be?

Many thanks

Ross

p.s. pics of the car to follow :D

Anyone? :)

I take it youve checked your bulbs and fuses?

email silviagod but I think its the old problem with the headlight stalk. Basically I think you need a replacement

i had this, it was the stalk, i took it apart and cleaned between the contacts. worked fine ever since

I had the same and it was a relay down by the airbox,the one for the high beams is on the back of the relay plate,I'd try this first as it's easier than the stalk.

I've had this problem did the same as Umpkin just be careful not to bend the contacts out of shape.

you need a new stalk unit. Second hand price for one is about £25
there 175ish new
