Headlight playing up.

I would... and make sure the earths are in good nick

IMO a loom upgrade is a great mod, sealed beams are perfect if doing bog holes all the time .
but they are only GQ not GU
Jaysee has a GU so he needs to find a globe that suits his need.
Gu reflectors are only plastic.
Plus the higher you go [watts]the more chance you have they will blow from vibrations
John if you want to try some HID headlights Im sure to have a spare kit here.

They are pretty cheap to replace. I even have a few spare ones at home that I ordered from China for few peanuts.
They are good quality. Just cheap 'cos it came from china.
If you want them, let me know via a PM.

If I'm going to replace plugs I get the ebay kit and change the whole lot. Thanks for the offer tho.

They pull twice the current and will give your stalk switch a hard time.

I use Narva +100 in the standard wattage and they are pretty good.

Having said that, a loom upgrade and relays is a really good idea and cheap

If I'm going to run 100/90 I'll be doing the upgrade kit.

Once a month for 20 mins isn't that bad, unless of course that 20 minutes happen to be on a long dark stretch in the middle of the pitch black night with no street lights, while you're doing 100+km/h.

Find it and fix it. Don't take any chances that are not worth it. Get a replacement switch from a wrecker. Cheaper and that way you can confirm the problem without spending a fortune.

switch has been replaced - I thought I stuffed it up when I was trying to open it to clean
so once I worked out how and why, I did the new switch


I am leaning towards a


loose plug



- but they are tight
