Freelander face lift problems

Hi all first of all want to say thanks for all the great write ups on it it has help me loads but now I have come to wire the lights up and I have relayed passenger side how you sayed but it is putting the power back throw the loom of the car and putting power to the drivers side is this a problem and if so how do I get round it ???

Many thanks David

Sorry if its a repeat I just couldn't find anyone with this problem :-(

yu sure it aint meant to?
diode stops reverse EMF.

if yu had bought our kit it tells ya

What kit do I buy and were ?

how have yu wired it?

earth the relay and 12v to relay then using the full beam to switch the relay on and power the head light which works but it sends a feed back throw the loom and lights the other side up

Sorry if I make no sense there

dipped beam is meant to.
switched by rh dipped beam only, or by main beam via diode.

So do I need to solder some diodes in to the loom to stop the power going back up the loom if so what sort as am clues less on this bit


MANY THANK

is this wot yu done?



1n4001 diode

Yes but with out the diode I will be at maplins first thing in morning

You are the best many thanks again

I didn't use a diode! Can't remember what I did now, kinda figured it out as I went, came to the conclusion every one was over complicating it

Actually looking at your diagram maybe I over complicated it picked all the wires up under the colum but used a relay instead! Same result more wiring saved a trip to maplins!

diode just means dipped beam comes on with main beam, but not vice versa.

Yeah that's what I did can't really remember how now! All without the aid of a wiring diagram or safety net
