Please help..... could you please have a look at what fuse you have in the point that keeps the dipped beams on with the high beams? Please Thanks

In the owners manual it states that this fuse is only for twin optic cars - thats all i know

Its the one with the symbol of a light with 3 straight lines next to it. Its the only one where the lines are not straight.

dont quite understand above^^^? but i have put a 5amp fuse into place and keeps blowing.... does this mean im using wrong rate fuse or is my wiring incorrect (although the rest of the lights work when switched on:S )

 

[davebem]

There must be a fault somewhere with the wiring, could be a relay, crossed wire or faulty earth. Its definatly a red 5 amp fuse. Look in the manual, its the position that says dual optic lights.

Have you changed your rear light clusters recently?

i have pahse 2 rear lights and 172 phase 1 front lights. i have solved the problem with a 10 amp fuse and are having no problems at all. Many thanks.

The reason I asked as on my old clio, after i rewired the connectors and screwed the clusters back on, the retaining nut went through a wire running across the top causing short circuits here there and everywhere...
