One dim head light driving me nuts!!

Evening all

Desperately need some help as I’m now frozen and lost the will. Bought new led head lights to replace the candles I currently drive with.

Fitted and connected them up to find the passenger side is very dim and turns off when I put the full beam on. Swap them round and the same thing so not the unit. Figured may be loam related to fitted a new loam I had running straight from the battery, through two relays and taking a feed off the drivers side head light with a separate earth for each

Same fecking thing happened, what the actual

Some one please tell me I’m being a bell end and its a simple fix....

I’m saying it, I’m a bell end and it was simple fix.

Bad earth on the passenger side. Turns out just cause you thing your radiator cowl is earthed doesn't mean it is. Fresh earth, cold hands and smug wife (she said wiring at some point but I thought it was a question rather then suggestion) but two bright lights!!!

Electrical shenanigans of this nature is ALWAYS an earth issue - either directly, like you've experienced - or indirectly when the offending "item" finds an earth return route through another fitting / lamp / wiper motor, .... etc., etc. .....

I blame Voltaire - bl@@dy nightmare that bloke - all this new fangled stuff wiv wires and things - it'll never catch on you know

( good on you for owning up - been there, done that and most definitely got the T-shirt )
