Default 1972 Headlight Issue

Hello,

The passenger side low and high beams don't always come on. Sometimes they will be on then go off.The driver side lights are fine. It sounds like this may be a grounding issue. Does anyone know what I should look for. Also the light enclosure shakes a little. Is there a way to tighten it up?

Hi M,
In the 71 forward lighting harness there is a ground connection that exits the harness right where the wires for the headlight connectors do.
The ground connector is fastened to the head-light support with a small bolt.
Maybe in 72 too?
I'd check that connection.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
