My headlights have decided to randomly turn themselves on and off as I drive, which is a lot of fun at night on the I405 as drivers think some obnoxious d*ck is flashing them.
I cleaned up the grounds and all the ground wire connectors by both headlights but it’s still happening. Could this be relay connected, or are they more a once dead completely dead kind of deal? I thought i’d ask before I drop $20 on a new one. For the record, I have those sealed GE led headlights, and it’s happening simultaneously to both, so I know it’s not the bulbs. |
