Lights

Post by stanc3w0rks »

Just wondering if its possible to snip a wire somewhere so that my sidelights go off when my headlights come on?

I'm sure you could but I don't even know how you'd find the right wire
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I'll have a look through a couple wiring diagrams but don't get your hopes up as I don't think they'll show anything

Surely just trace them back to the relay for the driving lights? So they only come on when the sidelight switch is on and there wont be a feed there when the driving lights are on? Just guessing here btw..

Not a fan of coloured lights on cars... White side lights look better :)

Basically yeah Dom but there's just so many wires behind the light switch that even with diagrams it's still a cùnt to find the right wires :lol:

I don't think it can be done, you need something like a reverse relay which would cut the feed to the bulbs when the headlights are on.
