Headlights

Hey all-

I have a 1970 K10. The headlights turn on when i flip on the brights and turn off under dim. Is it the lights or wiring? Where do I start? Thanks!!

Re: Headlights

i would start with the dimmer switch and see if its bad, i have seen head lights go bad on one filament on both bulbs but not often. also clean and check your grounds and plug ins at the head lights...just a few things to start with...good luck and welcome to the forum ....

Re: Headlights

When on dim, move the plug on the back of the headlamp to see if it's not just a bad connection. That's where I would start..

Re: Headlights

All good ideas. My guess is dimmer switch.... also check the connector to the dimmer switch.
