sorting out a few niggly things for mot, and this is now my main concern.

2 of the lights were cracked so i bought a full second hand set to pass her through,

now, we hooked everything up and started to test if everything was a-ok. When on sidelights the FULL beam (inside lights) light up instantly, and can't be turned off... no difference in dipped beam. the only way to get them off is to turn the lights off completely. We took out all the relays in the fuse box, and discovered that none of them seem to disconnect the full beam?? 8O

It seems i will have to take the car to an auto electrics crowd in town tomorrow to see if they can't solve the problem... tho a friend was saying it could be the stalk which controls the full beam and flashers... It just seems that they've been wired up permanent, tho i can't understand, as the lights worked grand with my old set?

anybody else had any issues like this???
any help would be of much assistance :(
