KDog Regular Location: ACT Registered: July 2002	Re: sealed beam => halogen conversion gone wrong.... Wed, 11 May 2005 01:14 Your solution has already been posted. You need to insulate the metal of the new globes so that they do not become the earth. Usually the high beam will have 12volts on both sides. When you turn the high beam on one side will go to ground so the light turns on. In your case one side is always at ground because the metal case is touching the chassis. This is problem with older subarus as the factory insulating material wears off fairly easily when they are older so juts changing a blown bulb usually causes this problem. To test you just need to remove the light fittings from the chassis and balance them somewhere they will be insulated from the chassis. If your light go back to working properly then you know this is the problem. The current will increase when the engine is running. [Report message to a moderator]
