headlights high and low beam mixed
Hello
My Porsche 911SC from 1980 has a wiring issue with the lights. When I put on the lights the high beam goes on. When I push the indicator the blue light on the dash goes on and the regular headlight go on. Where should I rewire? At the steering wheel, at the fuse box or at the lights themselves?? Thx! |

Was it working normally and this is a new problem?
Look at this thread on turn signal quick fix if it is new. turn signal switch quick fix pictures

The problem is there since i own the car. My feeling is the wiring is wrong. The stalk functions ok

Ok, yellow and white wires at the fuse panel may be mixed up top to bottom.
Take a photo of the first 8 fuses and terminals closest to the front of the car and post it. Is there a headlight relay mod installed?

Could be as simple as yellow and white on the wrong terminals at the headlight switch as well.
I am guessing you haven’t had the car a long time. Edit: looked at your prior posts, 2-3 months of proud ownership. ![]() Post some photos of your car if you are home now.

I switched two wires at the headlight itself and it is fixed. Thx!
