>It sure is exciting when you own MG's. One adventure after another.
Latest heart-stopper was coming back late from an outing with the 64B.
Coming round a country lane I hit the floor dip switch to turn-on my
hi-beams and I lost ALL headlights!! Hit it again and got my regular
beams back, thank goodness. Now, what should I be checking for so I
don't have this recur on my way to Indy? Headlamps are fairly new
<sealed Halogens.
Been there, done that. There's a bullet connector under the dash from
the floor switch to the harness. Mine came loose. I found that after
dismantling the dip switch and checking it with my VOM.
On another note, one of my sealed-beam halogens burned out, leaving me
a padiddle (Friend's term for one-light cars). Not wanting to suffer
that fate, I pulled out the old non-halogen light I removed when I
put in the halogens in 1980. On the front of the bulb was "LUCAS!"
The old Lucas bulbs had lasted from 1966 to 1980, and were still good
when I swapped them out... I've changed the halogens at least twice each
since I put them in...
