I would guess on the switch as well so take your switch out and look at it and smell if its burnt. If its not borrow one and try it. Have Fun! André - Tigergutt -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mark fellman Sent: 12. mars 2005 07:53 To:

You might add some relays so you can run some 100A high beams. Some good bulbs will set the grass afire by the side of the road. G Clint HooperHH Custom,ownerLT5 Registry Directorhttp://www.LT5Registry.net/ACES #1650http://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint/clint_hooper.htm - Original

Heya! This used to happen to me. It turned out to be a combination of bad grounds at the headlights, as well as burnt connectors. Buy a dozen 0.375 (check that, it might be different for stock lights. That's 3/8) female spade terminals and some heatshrink, and replace the old connectors.
