Hi Tim,

It sounds to me like your dimmer unit is goosed. Checkout clicky as Miti has a simple workaround.

You don't need the reserve lighting unit, it can be wired out.
When I get back to Sydney I will see if I can send the wiring changes for you but as ER said it has nothing to do with anything other than headlight control if low beam blows.

Tim, please define "everything works"? The RLU only controls the headlight. Nothing to do with the instrument lights.
