Switch gear, either the roller switch or the dip/main, deffo with uprated bulbs and no relays....

karlo:
I get this problem and its one of my headlamp plugs that causes it, they need renewing as they have got hot at some stage and one terminal had gone rusty, it creates a bad connection.

If i wiggle the plug it sorts itself out for a while.

i have uprated bulbs what is the switch relay and where is it?

it seems as if the stalk doesnt work

chris9119:
could be an earth fault as well.

Best bet is to hard wire them to the battery to ensure that they work, and if the do work that way, try the stalk and relays, etc.
