You've got a short in your wiring - is my guess.

Agreed.

The headlights are protected by a circuit breaker in the headlight switch that will reset itself once it cools off.

yep and a short woul dmake the new switch get hot and kick that breaker on and off.

ok..thanks again!

invest the 30$ in a relay kit from 390nut. you wont be disappointed.

[Junior Knight]

relay kit?

[fordman]

the headlight relay kit removes the headlight switch from being loaded down with all the power needed to run the headlights basically. it sends a full 12 votls to the headlights i think. instead of the amount the headlight switch lets go to them.

thanks again fordman..do I get this at any auto parts store?

[fordman]

i dont thin kpaul is making them anymore. the only plac ei knwo fo rsure that has them is lmc truck. if you know how you can make your own. you can ask the parts store. i have no idea if they have them or not.

[ezernut9mm]

i know he said he would make them again if he could get at least ten people to commit to buying one.

[fordman]

i didnt see that.

[ezernut9mm]

i didnt see that.

. that's cause it was in a pm. i am trying to make one work on my 61 and there are some minor differences, but i think i can make it work.
