When I turn my side lights on my head lights pop up, this is annoying and not cool, is there a mod to stop this happening? |

Had a bit of spare this morning so thought I'd have a go at this. So I got the wiring diagram out, to see if I agreed with the wiring before I blew any fuses. I didn't think it needed the plug removing from the dim-dip unit so left it alone, then set out modifying the G6 plug thingy. Now my car is a 1988 Turbo S and this appears to work on my car and I just thought I'd share, please don't blame me if you try it and it doesn't work on your car. So I ground the link away between the pin/spade 0 and numbers 2 and 9, then I soldered a wire to the back of the back of the 0 pin/spade. ![]() I had to twist the spade connector to fit inbetween the other connectors and bend it over so it fit under the board. I cut the corner of the board and all the bits of plastic out of the cap. ![]() so when I put it all together it looked like this from underneath ![]() Then I plugged the connector into the number 3 socket not the number 4 as the other instructions say. ![]() When I tested the number 4 socket on my car it had a small voltage when the sidelights were on but number 3 was only live when the headlights were on so I used that. And this is what it looks like all pluged in and finished ![]() So now the headlights only pop up with the ignition on and the headlights on, and go down again when I turn the lights off completely. The side lights still come on in the headlight unit when they are down but cutting the spade connector off the light bulb solved that. |
