My headlights won't turn on. The last few weeks they have been sketchy, ie I need to flick the switch on and off a few times before they fire up, or either the left/right light will come on, but not both of them at the same time.
I seem to notice it happening more often when it rains, but somehow I think it is just a coincedince. I'm guessing its a wiring problem, but I don't know what it could be, as it affects both the left and right lights. It used to work by switching on/off a few times, so all the wires should be hooked up correctly. |

every time it rains...especially hard, i don't know why either...i'm also very positive about my wiring and that i did it in the best way...even grounded nicely too...ill figure this out...in the summer fine...but when it gets wet or moist...it's only turning on one or the other or sometimes both but one's weak...i had to flicker on and off to get it to set in right...i think the ballast got wet and caused it to do that...im trying to figure out a way to keep it out of the open in the engine compartment area...
