Another headlights question

[tronch]

Hi
because my car was destroyed on the front I’m installing new headlights, but my question is?
are both ligths used for hi and low beam? Or the interior ones are only shinning with hi beam?

thanks

Since euro coupes both use an H1 bulb, yes they both come on with High beam unless you have a US dip stalk which would not be correct.

hi
i have to ask again because I have a problem in the car inspection
hi beams 4 ligths
low beam. 2 or 4 lights shining?

thanks

Low beam = only 2 lights on.

Hi
still some issues about this. I connect low beam 2 ligths and high 4 shinNing. separate relays for high and low beams….but what low beams are on, I have small shine on the high interior beams.
any idea why?
thanks

What year car?

You have the H1 lo beam with 4w city light perhaps installed in the inner hi beam location? It belongs in the outer H1 location and city light should only illuminate when the parking light position is selected. This all assumes you have a euro coupe with a euro hi/lo stalk, you haven’t given us enough information to help you.

Hi again
car is 73 euro.
exterior lights are H4 low high plus city ligths
interior ones only high beam

 

[HB Chris]

Euro coupes never used an H4 lo/hi outer, just an H1 lo and an H1 hi, maybe that is the issue. Maybe you have an H1 lo with city light installed in place of the H1 hi on the inner and if not you have a ground issue, check the grounds near the headlights.

Thanks Chris. I think is a ground issue.
