This site is awesome.
My high beam headlamp filaments were glowing orange when I had low beams on. Seemed like some current was finding a way to ground. Real weird look. So, before I did anything, I searched this site and this forum. Bingo
Found a poster with same problem-- 66 Malibu. He found his solution when unde70SS told him to check the position of his wires in the plastic clips for the low beams on each side. So I did that and found that my green and black wires were reversed. After I followed his advice my problem was solved. Again, thanks Undee70SS for the solution and 66Malibu for posting the problem.
