Need Help With St170 Headlight Installation...
#10
Drivesthebeast,Aug 11 2005, 07:45 PM Wrote:Ok, so I was almost done installing these things...noticed a few things...

1: The mini light under the main headlight always stays on...I thought that this was only supposed to be a parking light if the headlight switch is turned on with the keys out, but they stay on at the same time as the main headlights.

2: Tried to wire the front marker light/turn signal as indicated...the light always stayed on, but the turn signal didn't work.

3: Wired the two leads from the turn signal wires to positions 3&4 on the VW connector...left side worked fine this way (stayed on, flashed when turn signal on, flashed at regular speed), but when I wired the RHS light the same way, both of them stopped working, well, stopped staying on, but the turn signal and hazard work still.  I checked my connections again on everything, and even re-consulted the how to online...but still no joy.

I'm soo close to being done and buttoning the car back together 100%...I wanna know if I can change either of these settings I've made, or if it's not possible to...

ANY ADVICE WOULD BE AWESOME...DAYLIGHT FADING...lol

Hmm, did your headlights come with the wires already, cus im thinking the wires may be installed incorrectly. The little flashlight bulb inside the headlamp is the city light, and CAN be connected to your park light wire, which is the middle and one of the outer grille wires. ALWAYS use a multi-meter to check the wires current before you splice and join them TO make sure it functions properly when you are turnin on its function.
