simple question....
 

I have a 91 RX7. My high beams(my secondary headlights...thats what i call them, the little lights under the pop ups) dont stay on. I know they work when the headlight is down but I have to hold the switch for it to turn on. Is this a relay? or is that the way its suppose to be?

Sounds like it is operating as it should.

When you pull the lever with the headlights down, they will shine through the flash-to-pass lenses for a long as the lever is pulled.

When the headlights are turned on and popped up, no light will shine through the FTP lenses as there isn't actually a bulb back there.

When you pull the lever with the headlights on, the high beams should stay on until you pull the lever again.

thats the name i was looking for lol (flash to pass)...well i know that the FTP lenses work off the actual head light but i thought that you can keep them on by pulling the lever once and then shuting them off until its pulled again (like the high beams) and by the way when i have my acutal headlights up/on my highbeam doesnt work either not even if i hold the lever....what do you think it is?

It's hard for me to understand what you are asking due to the way you type. I think you are saying that even with the headlights up, pulling the lever does not lock the high beams on.

In that case, replace the turn signal switch. There is a little solenoid and catch that may have worn out.

Also, for good measure, check the headlight relays.

sorry...lol but yea that is what i meant to ask...thanks

the high beams dont stay on when the headlights are off... they only stay on when the actual headlights are up and on....

i figured that out but they dont even stay on when the head lights are up either...
