I have a 1999 Jeep wrangler and last night on my way home from my
night class. My high beam will not ture off all the way. When I turn
my low beams on the high beams stay on just not as bright and the blue
dash light stays on like the high but just dim also. I did install
some hella vision plus headlights (55/100 watt) I do not know if this
has any thing todo with I put them in OCT I do not know if that has
anything to do with it. Thanks Jamie |

Ehm... well...
since this is a Saab newsgroup I would recommend... to buy a Saab,
then create the same problem, then come back and ask again?
What is Hella Vision plus headlights?

Actually, he says they're 55/100W which would mean they *do* have a
much more powerful main-beam than standard bulbs, though almost
certainly illegal for road use.
If it were my ridiculous "car", I'd be checking the main-beam relay
for welded contacts...
Cheers,
Colin. >> Stay informed about: High Beams stuck on |

If stocks are 55/60W and if if no additional relay was fitted on
installation, *first* check the connector to the bulbs. If it's melted,
then anything can happen - although it's more impressive with 90/130s! If
it is, changing the terminals has agood chance of fixing your probelm.
If that's alright, check for an earth leak somewhere. Otherwise, I'd be
suspecting a stuffed dipswitch/column wand - assuming Jeeps don't sitll
have a floor dip ... 
FWIW, a 900 will usually survive a 55/90 changeover with no damage, but
I'd fit an extra realy for anything more, such as 90/130s. 100W is an
improvement over 60W, but nothing like 80%, more like 30-50. Any
additional improvement will be more down to new bulbs over old. Note -
*don't* do this if you have plastic lenses. Not pretty! Cheers

True - like vacuum cleaner retailers advertising "2200W of suction"...
yeah right!
and Richard - my glasses are fine my speeding is sometimes fined 
90/130W with a relay did give a bit more advance warning of impending
wildlife at a time when I couldn't afford additional driving lights
though. Cheers
