Cupra headlight upgrade, what relay?

[caddyrage]

Hey folks

just fitted cupra headlights but dip goes off when full beam goes on

just done a search and found a post saying to wire up a separate loom and relay to keep the dipped on.

well i still have the cordoba cupra my lights came off here so was wondering what position on the fuse panel is the headlight relay
perhaps just swapping that will sort my lights out

cheers, lee

I think mine does this as well. It switches over from dip to main. If i hold the stork just before the click i have both but once it clicks i lose dipped and go to main. Thought it was normal, cant really notice any change in brightness

Definately not normal bud as i tried a headlight back in the cordoba and they work fine.
The loom looks the same so i guessing theres something slightly different at the fuse panel.

have you tried swapping the main beam relay? just had a look in my handbook and it doesn't say which one, but I will check tonight in the workshop Manuel.

I cant think why i would want to change the set up. The full beam is more than bright enough to light my way.

ok looking at the haynes book of lies, should be relay 18 "ABS relay or relay for double light models"

pretty sure my dipped goes off when on main?

Is that position 18? or 18 relay?

I know the 18 relays are in the same places on my caddy and cordoba fuse panels.

looks like its position 18, looking at the fuse box its on the very right second from top.
