Terry,
I connected everything up, including the high and low beam pins according to
your email, but unfortunately the fuse blows when i try the high beams, I
think I have a short somewhere, but no idea where because i have used new
wires for everything. I may have to take it to an auto spark if i can't
find it. Thanks again for your help.
Lachlan
