Lights going out
Hey All,
My high beams go out after being on for a few minutes, I can't really pinpoint whats causing it... It doesn't seem like a low voltage as I would think they would dim out first, maybe a heat issue with the wiring, but they wouldn't come back on after toggling the switch... I'm lost. 1960 C10 Short Step. Mike Last edited by TheBrewery; 09-05-2017 at 09:09 PM. Reason: Added Truck Info |

Re: Lights going out
Are your low beams still working? If so, it could be the dimmer switch.

Re: Lights going out
Yeah, if I click it back to low beams they come back on.
I can also go right back to the highs and they work again for a few seconds then go out.

Re: Lights going out
Dimmer switch, or the wiring going to it. Look and see if any of the wires are melted.
Could also be the headlight switch itself. I've had both go out on me.

Re: Lights going out
I can't speak to the LMC kits, but I put an American AutoWire kit in my Suburban, and couldn't be happier with it.

Re: Lights going out
Not sure what you mean by hds, I just got the truck last month and am trying to sort out all the things the previous owner did and didn't do well.
