Mk2 Headlights to Dual optic Headlights

[DeanJ]

Dual optic Headlights PLEASE HELP!

Hi,

wondering if anyone can help, I recently purchased 2 new dual optic headlights from the mk1 172. when I've come to wire them in they have a different conections etc because the original lights had a H4 bulb which had both High and Low beam on it.

However the dual optic's have one HB4 and one H7 bulb (I think) I was just wondering if anyone could draw a diagram as to how to rewire them. I had them partly wired in but when i put high beams on low beam went off etc and in dash both high and low beam light up constantly

Any help would be much appreciated (i know it can be done as I have seen it done)

Thanks in advance
Regards Dean

You will need to put a extra fuse in the fuse-box at the side of the dash. Can´t remember wich socket but it have a "light symbol"

Then the dashlight for lowbeam will go off when high is selected. And low beam will stay on at your headlights- Simple.......

Got some really helpful advise from Shaun aka The Big Yin, but the low beam dash indicator stopped working and high beam indicator stays on whether I select low or high beam. In addition, I also experienced the problem of not being able to get both low & high beam working at the same time. Tried the fuse fix, but the only empty fuse slot (high beam icon) doesn't like having a fuse in it as once fused the high beam function fails all together! There is another fuse slot with a low beam icon on it, but the slot appears to be empty and won't take a fuse. Before I hack my way through the dashboard and pull out the entire fuse box, just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem with the dual optics conversion on a mk2 ph1 model? Btw mine is a 1.6 manual rxe. Comments will be much appreciated!
