    ive got a slight issue for when i switch from dipper beam to full beam, there isnt any difference in brightness!

    on angel eyes youve obviously got like two different sections, one for the h4 dipped bulbs and one for the h1 full beam bulbs.

    when i switch from dipped to full, the dipped bulbs turn off, and only the full beam are on. it should be that both stay on to increase the brightness, right?

    any one else had this problem, and know how to fix it?

    no they dont both stay on. its just something with saxos. even your standard lights dont have both stay on.
    there should be a difference with light output tho. mite be worth changing the bulbs to check. if still no difference then clean the connection pins as these can get corroded and take effect on light output

    its normal for the dipped beam to go off on angel eyes when high is on, think there is a way to wire it so both stay on but im not sure, someone on here probably knows tho..

    I wouldn't recommend that, the problem you'll increase the temperature then get cracks in the lenses. Angel eyes are notorious for being slightly useless.

    Try getting some better bulbs in there.
