Hi there,
I am new here, I was a member previously but have forgotten the user name and password all thanks to work being abit hectic.
Anyway, I have a small problem which I believe I might be able to pick your brain or from your past experience to resolve this issue.
My 2005 CTR EP3 has a headlight issue which has been bugging me for a while, I have fitted the HID kit from HIDs4u before, and I fitted the kit myself, and been working for about a year and half, then one day all in a sudden the driver side light has stopped working, as I was on my way to work so didn't have time to look at it. However, when I return to the car later that evening, I started the engine and found out even the left side headlight has gone, and the headlights were only supported by the a very low level Full Beam, so I drove slowly home and the next day I took out the kit and sent it back to HIDs4u to get a replacement set (which they did, I still haven't fitted it).
Anyway, during the mean time I thought I would fitted the normal Halogen Bulbs back on, but later found out the driver side light is on but at a very low level, not just that, even the low level Full Beam came on too, so I went to Halfords and bought replacement bulbs and fitted them, same issue remain. So I called the "AA", and the guy came and looked at the car, he first suspected its a grounding issue, but then he checked everything and said the grounding is fine, he just couldn't identify the problem.
Anyway one have a clue what is going wrong with my car? I can tell you when I have the first level side lights on, they are working fine, however when i turned on the second level which brings out the Low Beam, the driver side bulb is very low, and the Full Beam also came on but at a very low light level. One more thing I noticed at night, I can see the Full Beam icon on the dash board, but not glowing bright blue, only a very very low light level so that I can just about to see the icon comes on.
Please help? I really don't know what to do, I have changed the fuse box fuse under the bonnet, which has a number "15" on it, and the same problem remains, if it is a fuse issue, am I replacing the wrong fuse? Or is there another fuse box somewhere behind the glove box?
Please help! Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks!
Best regards,
CTR8
