Dim Dip resistor location

[grant620]

Hi
My '98 laguna has faulty sidelights - the main bulbs don't light up "dim" when on sidelights and ignition on.
I think it's the dim-dip resistor pack.
Anyone know where that is in the car??
Cheers

I have a 97 Laguna and that doesn't have it, so it maybe your's does not have it either.

Dim / Dip were last seen on the last of the Cavaliers and no manufacturer does this anymore, just a very dim 5w bulb now I'm afraid

Hi
All modern cars have the low beam bulbs running at a lower voltage when the sidelights are on (as well as the 5w sidelights).
I guess the fault lies with the switch then?
The onboard computer keeps telling me there is a sidelight fault!

If the computer is telling you there is a fault then I guess there must be a fault somewhere. I was a bit surprised that my Laguna didn't have this feature but apparently it is due to an EU ruling. I know my old Cavalier (87 'E' & 90 'G') had dim-dip as did my Mondeo (95 'N'). My Laguna does not have it nor does my neighbours (98 'R').

I hope the following will help you somewhat:

My '98 laguna has the faulty sidelights problem aswell, I have found out there is a dim-dip relay(K102) somewhere in the car. Does anyone know where it is located.
