I AM USELESS WITH ELECTRICS!

I have some after market headlights in my B10 that would blow the fuse when I would activate the high beam setting whilst having just the parker lamps on (headlights off).

However, when running with the lights on, I can switch between 'High' or 'Low' and have no fuses blow at all. It was only if I ran high beam whilst having my parkers on.

I fitted a relay setup so the lights would illuminate better but now the fuse blows when I have the headlights on AND on 'High' beam. Low beam still works fine and they illuminate.

High beam isn't essential but I'd like to have the issue sorted so that I don;t have to keep changing the fuses each time I knock the Hi/Lo setting.


So;


No relays but aftermarket halogens

Parker Lights On + Low Beam setting = Fuse fine
Parker Lights On + High Beam setting= Fuse blown
Headlights On + High or Low beam = fuse fine.


Relay setup & aftermarket halogens

Parker Lights On + low Beam setting = fuse fine
Parker Lights On + high Beam setting = fuse fine
Headlights On + low beam = fuse fine
Headlights On + high beam = fuse blown

Fuse = 25amp
Parker Lights and Headlights share the same two stage pull-out switch.

I think that's what it works out like, if anyone can help that would be much appreciated. I haven't had a decent look at everything but I will shortly.
