Headlight Question
I have a problem with the headlights on my '75.
When Low beams are on only one side lights up. When The high beams are turned on the lowbeam on that side shuts off. Look at the little thing below for the example
OX--XX Low Beams
XO--OO High Beam
X is lights that are off
O is lights that are on.
Any Ideas?

Got another question also - I want to replace the "headlights" so that I can see at night. I hear there is a kit that installs like normal headlights, but it's actually a housing that allows for a xenon buld to be inserted in the back. Way bright lights, stock appearance. Anyone heard of these?

I just emailed Hella and Piaa about these mods - will let everyone know what the reply is. Anyone ever get a good aftermarket driving light hidden well enough to work, but not look like a bugger hanging outta my shark nose?

Do you still have incandescents or have they been replaced with halogen lights? Besides what appears to be a problem with two bad bulbs, incandescents get dim over time. Halogen lights are a big improvement.
