Hi folks hope someone can help me with this. I have a 06 ST3 Focus with xeno headlights. When using the high beam the 2nd filament in the xenon lamp stays lit when switching back to main beam. Have taken to Ford for a fix and they have re-aligned the lights but problem still occurs. Please help

 

Confused, do you mean the dip stays lit on main beam, if so it won't be a aligment fault.
Do you mean HID when you say xenon ?

Hi Im not sure about HID they are standard ST3 lights. When u flash the lights the 2n filament in the xenon lamp stays on high beam. Hope this helps.

 

Hi ya mate pritty sure there a single filiment but the have a small metal plate inside the projector unit that is slid to one side by a small solonoid when the main beam is activated. prob just that stickin .ud need to pull the lamp out and see if u could free it off.

 

Sounds like a sticky relay, but fraud should easily spot this.
Tap each relay when it is stuck and the duff one will let go/de energise/turn off.

they have seperate bulbs for dip/main as tabetha has said sounds like a sticky relay realys are below the glovebox or under the bonnet on the n/s

 

seperate bulbs on a HID unit ,personally never seen that before . does it have a standard halogen bulb for the main beam and the progector unit for dip ?

 

yup separate lenses all hid lights have separates bi-zenons do both
