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 |

Can you hear the headlight/turn signal switch CLICK when you pull back on the arm? Do you see any voltage drop when you attempt to go from high to low?
