Euro Light Gremlins

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Dave, 

I really have to disagree here.  They are for all intents and purposes the same.  Osram/ Sylvania say so.  I think Mike has some type of wiring/ grounding problem.  Mike, let us know what you find.

    I know the connectors on a sealed beam bulb are not the same as when hooking

    different in a 9003 vs. H4?



  That's what I believe to be true.  Unfortunately, I don't have an 9003 to experiment with.  This would also explain decreased performance.  You can ground any terminal of the 3, add hot to the other 2 (one at a time), and still get light.  However, you can only ground 1 of the terminals, and get full brightness out of each of the 2 other posts.  I believe the ground is different on the 9003, resulting in feedback to his relays.

  Mike, let us know if the problem goes away when you change bulbs.
