    Headlight problems

    Great minds think alike Beast!


    Be interested to hear any feedback on the Traxide kits, especially if the upgrade kit sufficiently enhances the stock lighting enough to leave globes as-is.

    Perentie Low Beam Issues

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm newbie Perentie owner.

    My low beams disappeared after a road trip. I tried cleaning the fuse box (which is heavily worn) before discovering it was an issue in the multi-function switch.

    Two points (nodes) aren't making contact properly. I tried bending them into place which works but is a bit sticky/unreliable.

    My question is should I try to fix this or should I just buy a new switch?

    Also any further thoughts on the Trixade wiring upgrade kit would be appreciated...

    Cheers

    Buy a new one they are available at most LR spares shops or eBay
    This problem is rectified by fitting relays for the headlights
    You can search AULRO for information on this fix

    As above. The full lighting current goes through the switches. These are barely adequate for the original bulbs, but will not stand any increase. Replace the switch and fit headlight relays. Check the main switch while at it and expect to replace it as well.

    The relays will give you markedly better lights anyway.
