i just picked up a clean 94 talon tsi awd for my new daily driver. im going thru my list of things to maintain/clean/replace and my headlights seem to be the next topic to tackle...
AND YES I HAVE SEARCHED!!! im not a noob and im very much mechancally inclined. i cant seem any info that relates to my specific issue.
MY ISSUE:
when i start up my car, the headlights instantly turn on (which may also be contributing to my starting/cranking concern - another topic). the light switch has 3 options yes? - OFF / ON / ON + FOGS. @ OFF, my headlights are on. @ ON, my headlights are on but they are no brighter than the OFF poisition. @ ON + FOGS, the fog lights come on but again the headlights are not any brighter.
everyone following me?
at first i thought the lights were DLR but that was not the case when i went to switch the "ON" for night time driving but was surprised when it had no impact. my thoughts are its the headlight switch itself or maybe a wiring issue of some sort. at any rate, i want to get this resolved asap so i can move forard on installing HIDS
any thoughts on how to trouble shoot this would be very appreciated.
thx
