In my opinion there only could be 3 reasons the high beam is always on. 1. A relay is broken. 2. The car electronic have a problem with lower resistance of the LEDs. 3. A broken cable behind the lamp I think it is option 3, because you changed the bulbs it could be possible that you damage a wire. 2. possible option is that a relay is broken. I think there are only 2 relays for the front light. So it should be easy to check that. Hope you will find the problem. Greets from germany
*Journeyman Honda tech here* The issue with the high beams being on is, due to the way Honda has designed the civix, the DRL (daytime running lights) are powered thru a module under the dashboard, and 2 fuses in the driverside inside fuse box ( fuse #12 and #3 both power the DRL and both need to be removed to disable DRL) The DRL, run at 30%-40% power of the high beam filament on standard halogen headlights, with LED lights thou, (mainly automotive light) require 100% to run, so whats happening is the led light is powering on via DRL module for high beams and sending the excess power where it can, in this case back feeding it to the highbeam indicator on the dash, hence why the indicator get brighter when you pull on the highbeam selector it gets brighter on the dash. The way around this is to either order a DRL module for LED conversion that will than use the low beam for your DRL, or to pull the 2 fuses in the dash, look at your fuse panel and remove fuse #12 and #3 (7.5 and 10 amp fuse), #3 fuse is the third from the left on the bottom row....12 is the 2nd from the left on the second row from the bottom Place the panel back and place the fuses somewhere you can find them if you need them in the future Turn on the car and your daytime running lights are now disabled. Hope this helps you out :)
it should be relay the low resistance should'nt matter as it is ment to handle a wide range of power, also if it is a wire you might have a melted wire shorting out due to the heat from the heatsink which it the big bulky thing you should be able to find new dust boots for the led headlamps online
as a fellow civic owner and have owned a few civics. the high beam indicator is on with the daytime running lights. honda uses the high beams with less voltage for daytime lights. if you don't want daytime lights just pull the drl fuse under the dash. i had to when i went to hids or it would burn them out.
This project for this car I think is what helped take your channel further I mean me knowing absolutely nothing about vehicles or anything, I really love these videos because they are do able with just a tad bit of help from my dad LOL. but it's realistic and I love it
Easiest thing to figure out if ur LEDs are causing the high beam issue...unplug the LEDs and see what changes. BTW...how do u NOT notice the highbeam indicator?!? Its the only blue light on the dash. Keep up the good work homie.

@@ajhainstock3997this comment was 5 years ago but I have the same problem with my eg civic never knew why it happened basically my headlights were reversed highbeam was everything and when my headlights were turned all the way on no matter what that was my regular headlights, weird thing but your comment saved me lol
samuel 365365 stock is without any mods on the car, essentially how it came out of the factory and a kill switch is a switch that cut the power from the car
To your light problem: You might need a decoder or some sort of conversion kit. Different cars have different ways of sending car engine computer faults. This might just be the way your car does it. When the car computer detects an abnormally low consumption of power from your lights, it thinks the light is burned out and warns you. But because LEDs use a lot less power than regular halogen bulbs, the car reads this as a fault. I had the same problem but an LED decoder fixed that for me! Thanks for reading!
Robby that’s totally normal. The daytime running lights use the high beam at reduced voltage. That’s why the high beam indicator is on and slightly dim. It’s cool your doin all the mods from the 2005 era.
I love watching your videos you're doing a great job you're always so outgoing for the most part but at the same time knowledgeable to a point. Great job man! Keep up the vids!
@Robbie Ferreira for the struts with the seized bolts, an old as the hills technique that mechanics use is a 1:1 mixture of acetone and ATF, hope this helps your build come on a little faster! (BTW I wouldn't mix acetone in anything plastic, you will have a messy surprise if you do!)

Hey Robbie! As I've just mentioned when you installed the LEDs, the connector may melted. Meaning there's a contact problem in there. Try that, in my '93 Sunny N14 had that problem. Best regards, Szabolcs.
Try unplugging the led and see if it fixes the problem. All you have to do is to play with the input power wire. If the problem stops, it’s the LED. In the meantime try replacing the relay with another one from the same fuse box under the hood. If that fixes the problem,you need a new relay. If not, toss out the LED OR get the wired again properly.
Just a heads up, those front speakers are just for mids. You are missing the crossover and tweeter so you’re missing all treble frequencies. Either replace with a coax speaker or pick up tweeters and a crossover.
The relay is doing its job and your wish bulbs are drawing tools much power and could result in a fire if you don’t fix it and by that I mean replace the headlights with some real leds.
Try looking for a cluster that has a tach, I did that for my civic, since it didn’t have one. I found it at a junkyard, but they sell them used on eBay. And it’s easy to swap out and also swap the speedometer to keep original mileage
I got a German apex 1,200 watt amp and two 12” sub woofers in my 1998 Honda Civic Ex coupe, gonna put some more in it soon along with with some vynil wrap doing it all my self
From the experience i had with changing my motorcycle blinkers to LED ones is that the resistance was way to low so i had to connect two resistors in order to make them calm down hah. I highly suggest it is the same problem here. Try to replicate the stock light resistance in order to fix the problem. These resistors can be bought really quite cheaply as they are common car electric components :)
My Honda radio said code. As an anti theft measure, Honda radios will lock if they ever loose power. There is a five digit code to unlock it, that you have to input using the radio preset buttons. Mine was on a sticker that the Honda dealer had stuck in the owner's manual. If you don't have the original owner's manual, you would be screwed.
The reason with the lights is because the led’s you got are the lowbeam ones only. You can order one with the high beam selection, but it’s a little more money. And not even that they are kinda like hids
Your high beams are on because your daytime running lights are your high beam at half power but since the leds draw such little power that they come on at full power. LEDs can’t dim
Hey Robbie, I just want to throw out that you should probably try and contain whatever rust is on you Honda's frame and body because you're putting all these investments into it. Rust puts every vehicle on a timer, and the budget build seems like an extremely aged car. Don't want it falling out from under you; hope that helps!
It IS a ton of work tho, and I recommend p.o.r. 15 black paint that you can find on amazon and make sure you use drop cloths, face masks, and disposable clothes. Thanks again m8
You might have too go back in and check alumination back in your dash kit lights cause there’s not that many that come out too light it up round the the mph and the rpms fuel and water temp, I did mine custom just got too get the time too go back in and switch one around
If I remember correctly the tachometer was from princess auto. They have crazy good customer service and like warranty on everything. So if your tach gets trashed just take it back for another one
Hey, talking about the blue dash lights.... I have HID’s in my ej and I don’t have high beams and it does the same thing. It’s because the connector for the high beams are not attached
Yo bro im getting my honda in TWO DAYS !!! ITS GOING TO BE MY FIRST EVER STICK AND IM EXCITED ASF FR I HAD BENZES AND BMWS BUT NONE IS MORE FUN THEN WHIPPING OUT UR PROJECT FR FR CANT WAIT ALREADY ORDERED MY WISH PARTS 😂
its great that I can comment right now and you'll actually read it. I can tell your channel is going to blow up eventually, so you wont be able to read all of them, naturally. Love what you're doing man, keep it up!
I have the same issue on my 98 civic. But it doesnt bother me. Its probably the led bulbs Probably low resistance in led bulbs You can probably get a relay. Just like how hid kits have relays in them You can just remove the drl and it should be fine. Given the fact that you wont have daytime lights. Btw when your build is done. How bout a car meet !
Highbeams are on because you need LEDs that have DRL When you search them up it should say hi-low LED Which means High beams and lowbeams all in one with DRL.
hey @Robbie Ferreria I just wanted to say something, your speakers that you installed are mid bass speakers so they can not perform at high notes. what those speakers are is a component set. what that is... a mid bass a cross over and a tweeter. thank you.
The Honda Civic‘s and a lot of other Hondas use the highbeams at half power for daytime running lights in Canada LEDs can’t function on half highbeam power so they show full light that’s why you’re getting that Dash light and you’re getting full power all the time
I’ve commented before, I don’t know that much about cars, but my theory is that the lights fit right, however they are for a more modern car that has lights on at all times, so it’s tricking the computer in the civic into thinking the high beams are on. Personally, I don’t think it’s anything to worry about but, I’m not 100% sure
Your high beam light inside the car staying on could be a few things.. it usually means you have a high beam bulb out, if that's not the case it could be a short inside the headlight switch , could also be your high beam wires are grounding out somewhere between the harness an the switch , a bad relay is possible but unlikely . I highly doubt it's because of the led bulbs but since they are from wish An cheap it's possible.. I've installed thousands of hids leds in my shop an I've never came across this problem due to a bulb.. pull them out an put factory back in an see if high beam light goes out.. if it does than there's the problem, if not than you just took one possibility out of the equation . Good luck with the build guys ..
I like those old seats..mine are regular.. Boooriiing I have a 93.black 1.3 baby eg great little car got it for free from a friend so that's why I started to follow your channel..ideas ideas..
The LEDs might be the problem. With HIDs, my high beam light doesn’t come on due to the resistance of the new lights being less than original halogen bulbs
I've bought a 03 Tiburon with LED's and it does the same thing. I'm assuming it's because there's no low beam with the LED bulbs and my day time lights don't work or my fog lights💁😕. Hope it helps
Meanwhile am I the only person who has owned one of these civics to know you don’t need to take the door panels off to swap the front and rear speakers? The speaker grilles pop off for the fronts and back ones. Everything you need to get to is there and there’s plenty of space.
Take the Civic to a drag strip/car meet and see what happens for your 50,000 accomplishment! BTW, love your content and keen for future plans on the Civic! :-)
Did this civic had it's engine swapped. How come it looks that good for an old engine. I noticed manifold and covers looks spotless or atleast seems to be
PLEASE READ I also have a civic but I have a 1994 hatch Bali and my speakers didn't fit and I had to cut that plastic cover but realised that it was there to stop water because the water pours down where the speaker is if you don't believe me try it pour some water on your window and it will pour down to the speakers so just be warned your speakers might rust a bit also a way I fixed this a bit was by spacing the speakers away from the plastic hole as far as I could without the speaker hitting the door and yes that does mean there are more holes and can make the bass on the speakers worse but it's better than nothing I don't have to worry about bass on the door speakers because I have a subwoofer so I'd reccomend you space your speakers a bit too unless you want them ruined
