Wonky operating headlights. Bizzare and strange.

Bulb warnings are displayed if the current draw doesn't match what is expected. Factory globes are 55/60w so anything less than that will trigger the warnings.

Hi

Do you get 12V at the connector with a load connected?

I am thinking you may have some high resistance connections somewhere in the circuit so that you get 12V with no load, but it drops badly under load.

I'll check it out. The problem is that to gain access to the light fitting, I have to remove the air box - because my EAS manual inflate valves/tank pressure gauge/nitto outlet gubbins block access.

Thanks for the advice. Not much good when it comes to the mystique of electricity. I'm getting 12.65V at the pin on the BeCM. I'll see what it is at the headlight.

I'll also check the earth continuity.

I still have the same headlight problem. It would be too much of a coincidence if the spare power board had the exact same blown mosfets.

Ill double check what voltage is coming out the BeCM.

But could this point to an earthing issue?

Also my right front indicators have also stopped working. This is getting rather frustrating. I checked the green and white wire on connector C113 - position 4. There doesn't seem to be any power coming out the BeCM.

Could a problem on the logic board cause this issue if the mosfets were good?

I recently put some of the Cob Led headlights in mine, got what they claimed are 2nd generation, higher output. No errors and very good lighting, strangely not as white as the Hids but much whiter and brighter than the Halogens. Plug and play with Zero issues. Looking at the emitters they dont look much but rest assured they are unbelievably bright

Hi

I note these have the heat sinks at the rear, does this mean that the LR waterproof covers no longer fit?

Steve

I had to cut away the inner rubber so the cooling fan on the led's could protrude through.
