68 Headlight Issue!
hey all,
Just got a 68 convertible and the lights worked fine (came up and lighted). Now, they still come up but they do not light.
I have tried changing/checking the fuses and they all seem fine (hurts my knees tho
). not sure what the problem could be, loose wire, regulator out....not sure. tried turning the light switch when pulled out and nothing, also for what its worth the dash doesn't light up or the parking brake light....
I'd like to try and fix this myself and avoid paying someone else to do it,
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!!
Thanks in Advance!

Hi cmd,
New Corvette.... no lights.... bummer!!!
Have you checked for tail-lights?
If you don't have tail-lights either, it sounds like it has to be the light switch in the dash.
Hopefully you'll get some more suggestions when this thread oes to the top again.
Regards,
Alan

A. Bad fuse; change it. I've seen new fuses which were bad out of the box.
B. Bad light switch.
C. Dirty grounds. Radiator support, birdcage, and frame.
D. Ebrake light is on a circuit by itself. Could be the switch.

hey guys,
Thanks for the help!
When I pull the switch I've got tail lights.
I've checked and changed the fuse again, no difference
Haven't had time to check the switch yet, will try to do that when i get enough time.
Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks again for the Help!
