the passenger side beam on my rover is dim... on the dash the blue highbeam light is slighly illuminated when my highbeams arent on... could there be an eletrical problem? or just a new bulb | ||

Interesting. I noticed something simular last night on the drivers side. I backed out of my garage and closed the garage door. Once closed, I noticed my beam pattern on the door. The drivers side looked like a flashlight that had 10 seconds of battery power left. I flashed my brights, and the problem went away. Both lights were back to normal. Today when installing my OME springs / shocks I noticed quite a bit of crud on my battery terminals. I cleaned those up, and checked the connections to the bulb. Everything is well now, and I have yet had the dim light come back. Check the bulb too. Mike | ||

I had the same problem on the drivers side. When it went dim I could wiggle the fuse for that high beam and it go bright for a while and then dim again. I finally wedged something in beside the fuse to hold it tight. No problems for 6 months now. Charles | ||

Dirty headlight connectors. You may be able to just pull the connector off and back on a few times to scrape the contacts clean. Or find something pointy to scrape the corrosion of of them. Spray electronics cleaner is good too. Once you get them clean a little dielectric grease will help keep them from getting that way in the future. | ||

I had the same problem on my passenger side light. It was a bad ground wire, I wired a new one. It's been working fine now for ove a year. |
