headlight problem - car is evil

I just fixed the starting/hesitation problem and NOW there is a problem with the headlights.

The car has lights on....... I am guessing the parking lights but really dont know? They are not the regular driving lights... when the regular lights are on and the car is on, these other lights go off (or get brighter I don't know which, probably get brighter)... when you turn the car off they come on. Or if the car is on and the regular lights are off, these lights come on. - hopefully that wasn't too confusing...

Pics of the lights on:





They are really dim, like the battery is going dead. But it is not.... yet.

Anyone have any ideas or have a wiring diagram??
I have tried turning on and off all of the switches inside the car for the different lights - parking, fog, regular - brights.

I would assume that the parking lights switch is off??

I don't know about everyone else, but this is major confusing to me, see?

Parking light switch is definately off. I pressed it several times on/off to see if it did anything. I have tried all of the switches/buttons for the lights to see if anything would turn them off. I guess its the low and high beams that are on very dimly.

Also, the tail lights are not on. Just these front lights are on dimly.

Re: headlight problem - car is evil

There are 2 - 15 amp headlight fuses... fuse 24 and fuse 26... one for left and one for the right side.. I would suggest removing those fuses and see what happens. They are the power sourse for right and left headlights and if you are getting some strange feedback power source, removing the 2 fuses should not interrupt the lights. Do this with all switches turned off and crazy headlights on.

Let us know what happens and we can go from there.
