upgraded headlights to ARB kit, globes are now IPF 80/110 watters
problem is
the highbeam side of it works great lights are very bright but the low beam side of it is still as dull as it was when the original 40/60watt sealed beams were in place. Also the blue dash light for highbeam dosent come on. And one of the ARB relays there is four of em mounted on a block R4 has two plugs coming out of it one plugs into R3 and the other plug with red/black wires isnt conneted to anything I have know idea what its for.I tested it with multimeter it puts out 12+ volts when the low beam is on.
any one got any ideas any help is much appreciated cheers Dave
you could be using the wire which is switching the relay to also run the light? would cause voltage drop, wire shold come from battery to fuse to relay to light....

It's got me buggered!!. I am going to Canberra in a few weeks I will drop in and see the Boyz at ARB in Fyshwick thats where I origanally purchased the upgrade kit. I have been playing around with it when i get some spare time but I cant work it out. Cant find the instructions lost them when i moved house I will get them to check it out.
To all those that reply'd to my post a BIG THANKYOU
A mate was discussing 80 Series headlight issues the other night and made the comment that they seemed to have negative switching. I'm not sure if this is right or it helps, but it may so I thought I'd post.
(I was in the middle of changing tyres so wasn't really paying attention!)

There is one socket in the loom that is a pickup for if you fit a 2nd loom for spotties. It has 2 terminals in the 1 socket
There is a plug / socket combination that needs to be plugged together for toyotas. This will fix the High beam light on ur dash.
I ran into troubles the other day installing the loom and it turned out the problem was the relays. All the relays have 5 pins but in 3 of the 4, only 4 pins are used. It is important that the different relay goes in the right spot.
I've forgotten the exact details but if you look at the serial no.s on all 4 relays, 1 will be different. This goes in the socket with the yellow sticker.
If you're not sure, ring the guys at the shop and they'll tell you which ser no. for which socket (Thats how I found out)
Also, I recall something in the instructions about an adapter plug for the 80 ser. Double check what that says too
Good luck
