In the past when driving out on country roads using hi beam, the lights have always automatically dipped for oncoming vehicles, then back to high beam after they pass. They wouldn't dip tonight and had to do it manually... yes, they were definitely on auto.

They still automatically turn on low beam as darkness falls, they just don't dip anymore. The only things I've changed lately is different brand globes, but still halogen of the same wattage, and changed the tyre size in forscan.

I'll check for any issues with forscan tomorrow. It just seems strange that just the hi beam dipping bit has ceased to work.

Cheers

Duh!!!

Cheers for that Mick, I'd forgotten there was even a checkbox for this in the menu. :roll:

It probably 'reset' while playing with Forscan last time. All better now. :)

Thanks mate.
