What the hell??

I have a problem dealing with my head lights. If u look at my post I took a 86 Trans am that was wrecked in the front & Swapped a 87Iroc nose on it. My problem is when I turn on the low beam head lights, the high beam bulbs come on very dim!! When I turn on the high beams everything works just fine. Dont forget Ta's have 2 headlights & Irocs have 4 headlights. I'm stumped

Are all 4 light assemblies grounded to the frame? Tan = low beam; lt green = high beam; black = ground.

If u mean each light having a seperate ground, no! The right & left side share a common ground on each side.
