Flashing main beam.

Arternoon chaps.

I have all my headlamps wired up as the vicki green loom, with a slight adaption to run my rocker switch.
When my headlamps are on the flash and main beam etc works fine but im getting no flash when the lights are off. Is this normal foor this loom or have i got a wire wrong somewhere.

Im using sierra ind stalk and a rocker headlamp switch.

i believe you are missing an earth from your switches, they use a seperate earth when the lights are off so that the perminant full beam doesnt work, but the flash does. There is a wire that goes from one side to the other (indicator stalk to light stalk) that carries the current to earth.

Second that comment... I believe it's a spur from main Ignition wire (RED) into illumination connector
