Default Weird Headlight Problem - Help!
Intermittently, both headlights light when they should (dark place or turning the switch on), but they do not come up. Then a few minutes later they work fine. No codes. Year 2000 M6.

Any ideas?

Check your battery connection. Mine did that and it was one of the connections on the battery was not tight.

motoracer-

You were exactly right. The battery connections looked fine, but the positive was a little loose. Problem solved!

Thanks again.
