ARGH!!! My electrical woes continue! I took the car out for a spin today - the first time at night since fitting the relay kit and replacing the switch - and what I found is that the headlights work fine, and in fact seem brighter than they used to be prior to fitting the relay kit. However, when I put the headlights onto high beam the instrument lights go out! Switch back to low beam and they come back on again - its just whenever I go to high beam that they go out. Its the dial lights I mean - the speedo, rev counter, fuel guage etc.

One thing I found was that if I have the headlights on low beam and then gently push the stalk towards high beam, without actually making it click into highbeam position, then I can get the headlights to go to high beam with the instrument lights still illuminated. But then as soon as the stalk clicks into high beam position the instrument lights go off again!

Can anyone suggest any reason why this might be happening?

Many thanks!
