Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem with the headlights on my 1600. The left one is very
dim, and the right one a bit dim too. The high beams (inners) glow slightly
when low beam is selected. The voltage at the lights is 12 when they are
off, so I presume the switch earths one of the wires. When the light is on
the voltage drops to only 8. I think I have a bad earth somewhere or maybe a
bad relay or switch. Someone has added several relays (for two extra sets of
lights) and fiddled with all the wiring. Where is the earth connection for
the headlight switch located exactly? I connected a new earth wire from the
battery to chassis, but it did not improve the situation. All the other
electrics function properly.

Any help much appreciated!

Cheers,
