Headlights strobing

[Michael L.]

My headlights worked fine for a while. Now, they start flashing / strobing after a few minutes on. I checked grounds, connections etc. All wiring is new as is switch. I took the fuse off on the switch and all the lights still worked.

I took the switch out of the dash and turned the lights on and noticed a faint blue spark on the left side contact on the switch. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks,

Anybody else had this issue?

Usually that is caused by the voltage regulator. Check the settings and grounds.

Re: Headlights strobing

I replaced the old reproduction switch with a different vendors part, it actually looks like a better piece with different molding / stamping marks, new dimmer switch and ran my relays. Lights now hold without flickering, switch breakers do not trip and the lights are brighter. Tonight it gets a run for an hour or so to make sure the fix is finished. Now I can cruise Hot August Nights at night
