Re: Lights

[Eric Sturgis <ericsturgis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Your switch has a built in circuit breaker.  When the switch has too much of a draw it will shut off the lights for a short time, then they come back on.  So either you have a short in the wires, or the new headlights are making too big of a draw on the system.  when you turn on the Brights it will turn on all 4 lights.  In an old system it can cause to over load a bit with the new high powered bulbs and put a strain on the old circuit breaker. 

 

The best fix for this is to put your headlights on a relay system, you can hide it, nobody will know it's there and it takes all the stress out of the stock system. 

 

If you did not damage your headlight switch with the overload the car will be fine with the new relay system.  If not you will have to get a new headlight switch.  Easy enough to get

Hey guys, on my 64 880, I was driving last night, and all the sudden my lights kindve flickered and went out. Dash lights stayed on, but headlights and taillights did. I would push switch in and pull back out and theyd flicker, then after about a few seconds, I pushed it in and pulled back out and it was fine. Hmm. I had turned my brights on for a little while prior to this, I notice all four lights come on when I turn on brights, is it supposed to? Also, I got some new halogen bulbs installed, does that have something to do with it? Thanks!!
