Default Hi-Beam light on when high beams aren't?

Ok, I was driving home tonight, and noticed that the hi-beam light was on dimly... When I turn on the hi-beams, it goes bright like normal, then when I turned them back down to normal the light went back to dim...

So you guys, does this mean there's something wrong, or do I just have a bulb loose in my cluster?

Just some insight, If you have after market bulbs you have burnt up your harness. Happend to me, my girl and a friend, same thing. you need to replace the harness, 15 bucks at NAPA or 32 or 3 at the junk yard. i wired mine up with heavier wire and have seen no problems since... goodluck

Thanks, and yup, aftermarket bulbs... So, this harness, how hard is it to install? And can I just swap heavier wire into the one I buy?

its simple, comes with wires but if you use connectors from a stereo shop and do it yourself you wont ever have a problem again. Its all easy, like installing a stereo, maybe a set of speakers... Most stereo shops will do it for like 10 bucks
