What are dual beam headlights?

Car headlights have to be able to "dip" so as not to dazzle oncoming traffic, they therefore can switch between a "high" beam and a "dipped" beam and thus have a dual beam.

Just check that both dip beams have not blown. Not the first time I have come across this one.

Why do the lights go out on your car when you switch from dip to main beam?

I'm not sure what you mean by "dip" and "main", but if you mean when you switch from low beam to high beam, then the problem most likely is in your turn signal lever. There may be a dead area in between pulling it back (low beam) and pushing it forward (high beam). I had this problem on a '98 Grand Marquis. Make sure the lever is all the back on low beam until you get it repaired. I would not recommend switching to high beam before then. try replacing one of the bulbs on one side first, you may just have the high-beam element burnt out in both bulbs

Why would a light bulb contain more than one filament?

In a lamp you can have three settings with two filaments. One filament is for dim. When it is on, the bulb is dim. One filament is medium. When only it is on, the light is medium. When both filaments are on, the bulb is bright. In auto and motorcycle applications headlamps can have 2 filaments. A 'dip' beam and a 'High' or 'Main' beam. When the High Beam is on the Dip is off and vice versa.


How can I fix Mondeo headlights if they go straight from sidelights to full beam with no dipped headlights available?

It'll be a fault in the wiring at the dip stalk but you could check if there is a fuse in the dip circuit of your car which has blown (There should NOT be a fuse) It is also just possible that the dip filaments are gone on both lamps.


Where can find Morris 1100 wiring diagram 1964?

The Morris 1100 is basically the same wiring system as all BMC cars. It is a very straightforward wiring system with 3 fuses in total. If you are having problems sorting wires out, it is easier to open the loom up. With the lights you have a high beam lead, low beam lead from dip-switch to lights. The high beam will connect to the high beam dash light and the flasher switch on the indicator stalk. The main feed is from the light switch to the dip switch. Every item has a different colour: ie. Blue/Red for hi beam and Blue/White for low beam. Have you tried your local library?
