And you did
I saw your thread and it looks so good! But I need to drive this car out of here 3days ago.
I have sorted the problem, separate fuses for each headlights, even though it had a fuses it was a bad connection...
Cheers!

I've got all the wiring rigged up but only the right hand headlight works... They have been fused into the original fuse box, I can get an ohms reading from the fuse to the right hand headlight but not the left, same as from the switch to the headlight. *idea* perhaps both headlights have separate fuses, i'll go check... Cheers Harley |

I would be tempted to put new wiring in with a new fuse box. |

yes each headlamp is seperatly fused , bad connections are common on the original connectors&fuse box does your 2cv still have the "dim dip" system? |

I have nfi what the dim dip system is although I have seen it written about in many posts. When I get back from the raid I will rewire it all as all the wires at the light bar are cracking... Harley |

its a strange addition to the wiring harley, when u switch the sidelights on and turn on the ignition, the dipped headlights glow slightly as well theres more info in the forum about it |

Ayjay, dim dip was a UK thing till the euro manufacturers put an end to it. |
