My headlights have a bad habit of going dark randomly. When I pull out the headlight switch, the lights will pop up - sometimes taking a second or two. The lights may or may not turn on. If the lights turn on, after a few seconds or minutes they will go out. Turning on the high beams will sometimes get the lights back on. Sometimes they come back on themselves after a few minutes or seconds. Repeat.
Any ideas? If your answer is a bad ground, please tell me where I can find the grounds related to the headlights! |

I took apart my other switch and put the good parts into the first one. Re-installed and now the headlights work perfectly. I also did the "fog light hack" so that my fog lights will work even when my headlights are off. This will give me some extra protection if the headlights ever go out again while I'm driving in the dark.
If I have any other issues I will look into the hi/lo relay. |
