Mikey 63 could you have a bad headlight switch? I just switched back to the original relay and unplugged one LED headlight and plugged in a halogen light. Low beams and high beams work on both the halogen and LED and the lights stay on.

It might be, but I didn't have a spare headlight switch to try...for the very little time I drive this car at night this fix works for me.

SUCCESS!!!! Installed one headlight load resistor on the drivers side and everything works! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Great that you got it working. Don’t understand why the resistor helped but there’s just another one of life’s mysteries. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

1970s vehicles plus LED lights is a recipe for really weird stuff. I have the Trucklite LED headlights and didn't have an issue. I wonder if the fog light relay could cause issues. Mine is disconnected from the high beam.

I disconnected the fog lights from the headlights. Black wire/blue stripe piggy backed to post 15 and I grounded the white/blue stripe wire on the fog light relay.
