exceptionally retarded headlight question

You are saying.............

That with headlights plugged in........you get continuity beteween the hi /lo beam leads?

NORMAL, LOL


Below is a partial diagram I shamelessly pirated, then hacked up, from the internet.

Your meter is going through BOTH high and low beam filaments. I traced the path through the low-beam lamp.

Actually, in a 4 lamp system as in this example, and with BOTH lamps one either side or even both sides connected, some of the current from the ohmeter also passes from the meter, to the top green wire, through the high beam lamp, down to the common ground, up into the low beam ground connection, and through the low beam filament in that lamp, back down and back to the meter on the bottom wire
