Back in the dim and distant past. I spent nearly 2 hours wiring in a replacement trailer socket on a Ford D series Truck/Horsebox. All I had to do was cut the old wiring loom out and leave the new shiney replacement in place (through the chassis obviously)

A further hour later I was finished

Yep

Big thanks to everyone for their help.

I did ask which wire went where

told you bloody pixies lol
seriously though hope its sorted.......

I think i must have wired the earth into the high beam - hence both filaments on at same time and lighting up the low beam dimly and also lighting up the high beam idiot bulb. Does that make sense. That was using Johns "lazy" theory
