wiring problem with 02-03 JDm headlights...

all wires are there and all lights work, except one problem, when low beams are on, the dash for some reason has a faint glow from the high beam indicator, and the foglight switch that has the little green light on it barely lit up, and visually you can tell that the passenger high beam is dimmer than the drivers side...

any suggestions, i was thinking a grounding problem, but all looks to be grounded properly...

try turning off the fog lights. Your high beam indicator should go away (I just installed HID's into the Forester).

its wierd becuase when i disconnect the high beam on the passenger side all the problems like the dim fog switch and the faint high beam light on low beams seem to dissappear....
