Alright guys, this should be an easy one, but I cannot get my mind to click.
I have good highbeam lights, but low beam is yellow.
I am running a sealed beam light, halogen.
I have a generic pull switch, 1 parking lights, pull 2 all lights.
I have a 3 wire dimmer switch.
I replaced the dimmer switch with another used one and got the same results.
I ran a separate ground to the ground wire off the headlight lamp plug, no change.
I was under the impression I should have a hot to the dimmer switch, in which
high beam sends current to both filaments. The next position drops the high beam.
With a voltmeter I get 11+ volts, engine off, on one leg for high beam
On low beam the smaller wire, low beam, reads 5 to 6 volts, thus the yellow light.
I have 11+ feeding into the dimmer, how does it drop to half exiting to low beam?
I could have two bad dimmer switches and will probably buy a new one tomorrow
unless you guys can educate me.
Apparently the previous owner was trying to address this issue, as there is an extra ground
in the harness to each head light housing.
