hi

i have managed to convert from phase 1 headlamps to phase 2 ones but due to the wiring when i put full beam on dipped beam goes out has anyone managed to sort this out so all lights are on with full beam

urgent !!!

on full beam you will illuminate one of the two bulbs in the headlight unit, switching to dipped headlights, extinguises the main beam bulb, and illuminates the dipped bulb.
so you have correctly wired it up.

but htought with the twin headlights when full beam on it kept the dipped bulbs on as well

I think volvo do loom conversion, might be worth asking a dealer.

hi darlo

unfortunatly not from a phase 1 to a phase 2 lights if you allready have twin headlights in and then go to the new five pins at the rear instead of four then you can get an adapter from volvo

cheers anyway

Hi Thanatos.How easy it is to chance the headlamps from single unit to a twin unit ; regards Yanni

Thanatos · Aug 31st, 2008, 13:18

as long as you get the t4 model it is quite easy depending on your skills i'm not a mechanic took me about an hour to do hardsest bit to start with is working out the wiring managed to find a diagram to sort that but i am struggleing to sort the full beam problem out of the dipped beam turning off when full beam on pm me your email address and i will send the wiring diagram for you

Thank you For your advise Thanatos.My volvo is a v40 2.0LPT SE 1999 with a single headlamp unit,so as you said i need the twin headlamps from a t4,do you know from witch model? I hope you sort out your hi beam problem soon Yanni

Thanks to Ray T for the wiring diagram

but to let you know if you bridge blue wire with red stripe and blue wire with yellow stripe in the plug behind the switch then the full beam works perfectly

and thank you all for your help
