With your high / low headlight dipper switch, the striker isn't throwing over completely and probably because it's pivot is dry.
I seem to recall that the spring attached to the striker can get hot somehow lose it's temper and stretch.
You could use the still working low dipper circuit to operate a headlight relay and that would be one way around the problem of current causing heat across the switch points.

I had posted this issue in another forum and this was one of the responses similar to yours wrinklearthur ?? or is it as I'm a dummy when it comes to electrics LOL
12 Volt 5 Blade Relay, if it is I'm going to need to have a 'Bex' LOL cheers Dennis
I have removed the item from the steering column again as my arms & T/A (wife) is not home, I have checked the wires and they all have continuity so that tells me they are not broken.
I set the item up in the shed and sprayed it with Freon, gave it heaps then a quick squirt of Inox, it is now working with a positive audible click

Flip, they're bright. :D
As for the postie bikes. I love them. I was a motorcycle instructor for many years and got to play with these on the range while the students were inside learning stuff. Great little bikes and don't they make a great little hot rod (dammit, you'll have me salivating about bikes again).
I wonder how many of the new green ones will run,,,
I've just seen the reflection in that mudguard. Is that a boat under that cover? Mate, with restoring Landys, bikes and fishing boats, you are definitely living the dream.
