Hi guys,
I installed new lights and a Jwest fuse kit and now my highs are stuck on. The lights worked fine switching high to low prior to the fuse box swap, but I believe it is wired correctly. To start troubleshooting though, I want to swap out relays first before going back into tearing it all apart. Does anyone know of a relay that is available at most auto parts stores/FLAPS that won't break the bank. I know they are available from Pelican, but being in Florida, I'd rather get one locally tonight if possible. I know I can try to find a SAAB one from the junkyard tomorrow, but curious if there is something I can get at a store first. Would one from a later Beetle work? I think NAPA has those. Thanks! -George |

Your car probably came with the 4 pin relay, and those are NLA. The 5 pin relay requires a jumper wire to function. Check the relay, look for the missing jumper wire. Any VW of that era will use the same relay. Newer ones don't use a relay.
