Headlight Problem
On my '81......While driving home last night my low beam headlights when out (talk about a pucker factor), however the high beams worked fine. This morning I went out and and low and high beams worked fine. Don't tell me it's the headlight switch .....ugh.

Not exactly feeling positive about this reply, but here goes anyway: The headlight circuit is protected by a thermal circuit breaker that will reset by itself. The breaker is located inside the switch. I don't know about the high beams working while the lows did not, but the fact that the lows worked the next morning seems to indicate the breaker tripped and reset itself.
