Ground side switched headlights

Featured Replies

Help. I'm considering a headlight mod but the kit instructions state:-

'if your vehicle has ground side switched headlights, this unit will not work'...

Does anyone know if the 02 1.8T Superb has these or not?!... :confused:

What headlight mod are you planning mate?

Ground side switched headlights are generally found on Japanese vehicles. Fused B+ is connected to the filament common of an H4 lamp (usually earthed in Europe) and dip/full is selected by grounding the appropriate lamp terminal via the dipswitch. It's done to allow 1 fuse to serve both fullbeam and dip.

Ah, that makes sense. It's supposed to be some sort of Xenon kit that a friend said he'd do for me. To be honest I think I'm gonna pass... it all sounds too much like a recipe for disaster!

If you are thinking of wiring in an aftermarket Xenon kit into the current Halogen Headlamps then this is I am afraid illegal....
