Odd headlight issue (not motor related)
My headlight high and low beams somehow seem to be reversed...I have owned my 1992 Coupe for 3 years and never really noticed it until yesterday, haha. No i feel sorry for everyone i followed at night!
Anyhow, when the headlights are on, the default setting is high beams and the fog lights go on. To get the low beams to go on, i have to activate the "high beam" symbol on the dash. This also deactivates the use of the fog lights. So basically i cant use the fog lights with the low beams, only high beams. When the low beams are on, the high beam indicator is lit on the dash.
Any ideas?!!

Wires have been switched somewhere in the wiring. You need to trace the wires from the switch/s to the headlights and compare the color to the electrical manual.
