How about a Bump. I'm betting it's possible, and you might need to replace the headlight switch because it has a limited bright/dim feature.What seems to be the problem with your photo cell, or illumination?

Hopefully one of our electrical gurus will chime in.

I see you're new to the forum... welcome

Did you play around with the search function on this site at all?

It is very possible, cheap, and not too difficult...
Here's the topic from a while back... Scroll down to my post to see a picture of what you need to do
