in the morning, my first thought was OH SHIT. Got lucky and didn't fry it.

I didn't add a diode initially because the high beam circuit didn't have a burned out bulb detector, and the test run with a single relay didn't cause any trouble. Basically it slipped my mind.

Live and learn. I learned that audi's can be touchy, isolate, isolate, isolate.

[puzzled] wait, what are you fixing? what's broken? what high beam relays are you talking about? - Audiboy 2002-07-30 16:43:26 (296 views)

He has higher wattage bulbs....which draw more current, this increases - James R. 2002-07-30 16:47:17 (333 views)
