Thread: Head lights turn off

Sounds like head light switch

It will be either the heaflight switch or the multifunction switch, almost certainly the latter.

As there is no relay, the switches carry the full headlight current. They are barely adequate for this, and fitting higher than standard wattage bulbs will ensure a very short life indeed.

The solution is to replace whichever switch is faulty, but at the same time fit a set of relays so the new switches only carry a small current. If the relays are properly installed and near the headlights, this will also give much better lighting! (One of the vendors sells kits, or you can do it yourself, or get any auto electrician to do it.)
