Last night i was driving the '69 home and my headlights just shut off, parking lights, brake lights, everything else still works except the headlights. Its a good thing i had my offroad lights so I could get back home. anyway, I was just wondering if any of you have any suggestions as to what might be the problem. I wont be able to get out and work on it until this weekend.
Thanks in advance, Nate

Re: Headlights shut off?
Check the fuse panel, could be the switch, the power lead to the switch, the hi-lo switch on the floor, a bad ground. A few things to check out, just what comes to mind right now.

Do you have factory headlights or high amp replacement. I got aftermarket that use sealed bulb and they suck too many amps and burn switches. So i went to relays on my lights on second switch!!
