Default 90-93 JDM one piece headlights weird glow??

ok i just installed the JDM one piece headlights and now when i have my headlights on the blue brights indicator light "glows" but it does not actually turn on. it will still turn on when i turn the brights on but it never used to glow like that before. i was wondering if anyone else has had this prob or if anyone has any ideas of what it could be??


thanks

I had that same problem in my VR6, do you have any aftermarkte bulbs installed? That was my problem I'm guessing the wireharness couldn't handle the higher wattage bulb, I removed them and the high beam glow turned off. Hope it helps.

You probably crossed a wire somewhere or didn't fully insulate them. How did you splice/insulate them?

Oh, and BTW, the JDM 90-93s use a yellow lense inside the fog section, not a yellow bulb :thumbup:

Unfortunately my 'teg didn't live long enough to get one-peice headlights.

Did your lights come with the wire harness? I thought it plugged right up to the USDM main harness. :dunno:
