306 Headlights dim/dip resistor

Hi,

There was some discussion about this topic some time ago but if anyone can help I've got a couple more questions.

Firstly, the resistor on my car has been blowing every couple of months or so since I had it. A lot of other people seem to have the same problem.

  1. Does anyone know why it blows? Can I do something to stop it blowing?

  1. Can I wire the connection so that it does not need the resistor? How? If so will my dip beam/full beam cease to work?

  2. All else failing, does anyone know where I can get a resistor for less than Peugeot charge (about £22 + vat currently).

Thanks very much in advance.

Wayne

You can wire it up so that it works as normal - side lights, dipped and full beam regardless of the state of the ignition. I had this done with my 306 after the dim dip resistor went kaput mid journey from London to Scotland. The Pug garage in Penrith charged me £20 to fix it this way after they failed to turn up a new resistor in their's or any other nearby garage's parts department.

I can also confirm this. Mines blew and was replaced but was wired so that that I have a bypass connection to plug in if it goes again.
