Default Calling all Bugeye wiring experts

Hi all

Im having trouble getting my headlights to "flash" or stay on "high beam" Ive replaced the relays and its now bought me to this stage

If i have the head lights on as normal if your driving threw town at night time this is how my lights are

Passenger side



Driver side



If i flick the "high beam" on this is what happens



Now im thinking the high beam and normal beam are the opposite way round as it would appear. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do. Ive checked the wiring on both sides and they appear to be identical

Please help someone

the pictures are a bit confusing, the first one is just the side lights (first turn on stalk)

I had to change the relay as it had gone in the 1st place..... Its like i say i can only think there back to front as thats whats happening. Did you wire it up the same way as in the diagram you added then it was all good??

yes i followed the diagram and there was a wire wrong, try swapping the two spade connectors around in the main beam part

Check the fuses for the headlights on the car: I've seen similar when one fuse goes.
