So First and foremost, yes i have searched already. i have lerked, i have trolled R3V and havent really come up with anything that seems to specifically match my issues. who knows, maybe you're a search phenom and I am just not worthy:bow:. now, for the topic.
I recently just picked up a 91 318is. knowing it had a few "small" problems, i snagged it for what i felt was a good enough deal to bite; i feel 90% confident it was anyways. when purchased the lighting was as such: DEPO smiley headlights (with city light currently not wired) with DDM HID kit installed for lo beams, high beams still wired and connected but not socketed into lens due to not being H1 bulb types (needless to say im not using the currently).
driver side turn signal blinks incredibly rapidly, and also there is a fender side marker installed driver side only (dont ask me why just is currently).
now, when i have the lighting knob pulled back once, the lo's and all parking lights come on. pull back a second click and nothing changes (suppose to be that way?) high beams work off the stalk as they should just need to get H1 bulbs for the lens and figure out how to get them wired up.
when i have the headlights off, say during the day, i noticed that if i switch on my left turn signal, my lo beam will flash with the signal (either a couple times then stop or more continuously.)
the side markers on the bumper are not wired up currently, im awaiting new sockets and wiring from bavauto. i also have some stealthauto turn signal assemblies to install and wire up since the stock ones are tired out (stealthauto asembly has 2 bulbs installed, 1 socketed dual filament, and 1 regular bulb??)
so needless to say i am ata bit of a stand still as to where i should possibly start off with this potential wiring nightmare. i feel like the rapid turn signal delima has something to do with the fender sidemarker, but i do not have much experience with BMW, and im not the most electrical savy person. i can wire a stereo just fine, but for the most part i know electricity=zap... any insight would be greatly appreciated gents. someone just referred me to M42.com so i'll swing by and check around there as well. thanks in advance
