Thread: 110 headlights

Does anyone know if the puma lights now run through a relay? Or do we think they still pass all current through the switch in the steering column?

The other thing to check as a matter of course is the relay, mine was looking very undesirable. The relay was good but the relay socket looked as if it was getting warm.




A replacement was about $5 at supper cheap.

They do have relays but as far as I can work out following the maze in the attached diagram the all the juice still goes through the switch first ....










......I installed the Traxide kit when I installed the driving lights.

well i thought that as well but I have never had any issues until i installed the upgrade kit. Still, I can guarantee my lights arent as bright as some of the guys driving around with these xenon look around corner super blue bright things! ha! Is it just me or does it always seem to be on BMW's or Audi's!?

Just to be clear, is the relay in this pic part of the light circuit? if so are you able to identify it. I had trouble with my low beam checked everything including pulling all the relays below the fuse box (TD5 2001 110) and nothing. Got a "new" switch $55 Silverdale no cure. Wiggled the wires behind the binicle and fixed? so I've got a loose connection somewhere? But nowhere could I find a relaty between the switch (connection) and the fuse box.

received new switch and plugged it in
now the dash lights work on low beam but still no headlights

flick to high beam and lights work fine

where is the relay in that picture

i noticed one in the fuse box but looked ok


any advise to where to look next?

Multifunction switch (turn/horn/high-low/flasher). Low beam contacts are probably gone in it. Failure of both switches at the same time does suggest the possibility of a short on low beam - from memory there are separate fuses for each side and each beam, but a short between the switch and there would give this symptom.

Also note the possibility of a failure of the plug on the back of the headlight - I have had this, without even an upgraded headlight wattage, but both sides at once would have to be an unlikely coincidence.

Hope this helps
