Headlights

[Brody]

My headlights ****ed up again...****en mad.

I couldnt be bothered reading all the replies (consumed a bit too much beer) but I had a problem with my left headlight too. It kept going out and then coming back on and was giving me the shits. I found that if i wiggled the switch I could make it come on and off too.

So I bought a new switch from a guy who had a spare dash, and changed the switch over. Now I havent had the problem since.

If someone hasn't already suggested this .... hope it helps and good luck

I cleaned mine today but nothing...well my right light now works fine, as this was iffy before.

Got the trusty test light out and checked the signal to the light. This was all ok. So I know a signal is getting to the light.

So is my bulb blown? How do I take out the light to check this?

After using a different set of globes, i found that this new set were round 2mm longer, and i havnt had a problem yet. I imagine my problem is to do with the connector terminals...

To take the globe out,

pop the bonnet,

unscrew a black cover,

pull back the waterproofing cover,

unplug the power clip,

and on the base ull feel 2 prongs, squeeze these together, and the globe will loosen

hey man .. the other night my light all of a sudden stopped working .. but it was working the night before .. it got a 33 so it might be different ... i was like .. shit i gotta buy something else ... money money money ... so i asked around to see if anyone could fix it ... a member here told me to hit it the light ... i was like ... wtf?? whats that going to do ... anyways i was desperate and was going to try anything ... so i went outside turned on the lights and hit it ... first hit didn't do anything ... then second hit was like magic ... the light turned on to full brightness ... i was stoked ... rule of thumb if it dont' work .. HIT IT!!!
