    Arrrr head lights!!!

    G'day all, went for a drive in to town tonight and all of a sudden my head light start filckering and die. Pull over check fuese all good, check conections all good. So why? Start up lights come back on, but filcker occasionaly and still stay on. Why? Driving/side/dash lights no dramas.

    Any fender owners have this drama?

    Cheers Easo

    Headlight switch. Get some relays and a wiring upgrade from Drivesafe and a new switch.

    You might even be able to see the road ahead of you when it's done.

    Cheers

    Nutts, I've replaced the H/L switch about 3 years ago, after it melted to bits. Whats the wiring upgrade worth and getting it fitted?
