Ok gents, heres the background. Been building a replacement headlight wiring harness for relay use the last couple weekends Ive had off. Got it installed today, for the most part (jeez what a pain that was...) still havent hook the harness into my relays yet.
Heres my retarded question. After installing my harness, I decided to ohm out the harness with the headlights installed to test for shorts that might have popped up. Im getting continuity between the high and low beam leads. so I dug into the harness and pulled the headlights out. with the headlights removed, I checked the full harness with the ohm meter, no shorts. So I scratched my head for a few minutes, then tested the headlights themselves when removed from the harness. Im getting continuity between all three connections on the back of both lights??? how in the name of all that is holy is that? What keeps the low beam from turning on when the highs are on and vice versa? WTF am I missing?
