About 2 days ago my headlights worked fine, then they started to dim adn flicker, now they only come on when you hit the brakes. All the other lights remain fine. Any suggestions n this? _________________ ____________________________

sounds like a short in the wiring; start at the headlights and work your way back, checking/cleaning all your connections... _________________ póg mo thóin

Check grounds front and rear, this part is bizarre. |
