Headlights are frustrating me, Just want them to work correctly Options

[Rhodes71/914]

I've tried to work this out, I've done searches, but i'm still stuck.

Headlights work fine on low-beam. Click to high-beam and nothing. I can hear clicking at the relay which has been switched out and I don't think is the problem. Fuses are all good. Indicator light on the speed-o only come on when just the parking lights are on (knob pulled out one click}

Could this be the headlights themselves? or do i just have some f-ed up wiring. Things look pretty normal at the fuse board.

You can pull the headlight covers (you'll need a 90-degree offset screwdriver for the outboard mounting screws) and check for voltage between the high beam contact (yellow I think? Or white wire) and ground. If you get zero volts when the high beams should be on, then start chasing back through the wiring. The fuses should be next (two for high beam, two more for low beam), then the relay, then both the headlight switch and the turn signal lever/high-low switch.

Keep checking until you get power. The problem is between the last thing you checked that doesn't have power and the first thing that does.

...Or the problem could be on the ground side, so check resistance from the ground connection on the light to a known chassis ground. Do that first...
