Jlevo 1 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hi, I have run into a small issue with my headlights. The headlights on my drivers side are nice and bright, however on the passenger side they are quite dim. I had a spare bulb matching the same specs as the one that was in the passenger side so I replaced it, to find that it is still quite dim. To check there was nothing wrong with the first bulb, I placed it into the drivers side and it was bright, so I know its not a bulb problem. On a side note the fog light on the passenger side works but the drivers side has blown so it needs replacing ( I don't know if this may have anything to do with any power that may be being drawn) Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Therusterman 59 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Have you got a volt meter? If so check the voltage your getting at the bulb connection Link to post Share on other sites
Jlevo 1 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I can get a hold of one and check. Will report back once I have checked voltage. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 The current drop on mk3 headlight looms is epic and well documented, google up making a relay headlight loom and you'll find that actually getting 100% of the intended power to the bulbs is like having HIDs Link to post Share on other sites
Therusterman 59 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Didn't know that Luke, Knew it was a problem for the Corrado boys but not us. Edited August 31, 2014 by Therusterman Link to post Share on other sites
Jlevo 1 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Alright cool, will have a look at that. The voltage running to the bulb at the bulb point is floating around the 12v mark. Couldn't do the drivers side as it is plastic capped Link to post Share on other sites
