LED Headlights: Turning on the fogs turns on the high beams, too!, New behavior, fogs worked normally until LED headlights installed. Options

[orthobiz]

I love my brand new GE Nighthawks. There is no way I could go back to regular headlights. I had a set of sealed beam Hellas.

Last night I turned on the fog lights for the first time and the high beams came on. When I looked at the front of the car, all three were on: the regular lights, high beams AND the fog lights.

Any fix for this? I would like to have the fog lights and the low beams on at the same time without the high beams.

Edit: up until I installed the LED headlights, turning on the fog lights did NOT turn on the high beams. And turning on the high beams turned OFF the fog lights. In other words, normal behavior.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi-Lo beams, headlight cover motor, running lights and fog lamps are all inter-connected at the light switch.

Attached are two views of the light switch from my '74.



Source voltage to the fog lamp switch is only activated when the headlight circuits and headlight doors are energized/ON.

As an aside, to operate the fog lamps independently, disconnect the fog source wire at the headlight switch and run a new source wire directly from the fuse box to the fog lamp switch. The switch energizes fog lamps via the fog lamp relay.

Hope this helps,
