With the days getting shorter, I'm finding myself using my headlights more. Recently I noticed that on occasion when I switch from high to low beam, there is a period of a second or two when there is NO light. Then the low beams will come on. Needless to say, this is a little disconcerting and a safety issue. I know that the way the contacts are set up in the combo switch the high and low beams are on simultaneously in the middle of the throw to allow some overlap and to presumably eliminate this situation. The problem only occurs going from high to low, not the other way around (so far). I am unable to reproduce the situation after it occurs by flipping the switch back and forth. Does this car have a high/low relay that could be sticking, or is it more likely the combo switch that needs replacing? I haven't had a chance to tear into the wiring diagrams yet to trace the circuit, but figured someone else might have run into this situation. I've had the wiper part of the combo switch fail twice on a 123 chassis car (broken wire at the solder joint) but never ran into this headlight problem before. Car is a '95 E300D. Thanks in advance.
