Default Main beam dash indicator on constantly

So basically as above, its on with ignition off, ignition on with no lights on and with side lights on. Only goes off when lights are on dipped beam and when using the main beam as well? Anyone had this issue? It's an 02wrx

How are the lights behaving?

You are saying it's ON when the keys are out of the ignition?

Have you/someone done any lighting mods? HID's? LED's? LED's in the clocks?

I know what you mean, it's just a big mess of wires, relays and connectors behind mine. Just hope they never need to come out because I wouldn't be able to re-fit them.

guess that's some consolation :-\
checked again tonight and have no voltage at the main beam. offside.
but if I remember correctly both the mains are fed from the battery side, had so much hassle from the lights I am sorely tempted to take it all out and rewire the lot.
anyone got a diagram?
I can easy think how to do it, just need some idea what is there now..
