first things first.

using periods would make this about a billion times easier to read. <--- its that thing right there at the end.

second. from what i tried to make out of this is that it seems the switch is burned out, and you have to jiggle it to get both headlights to come up??? is that correct?

heh, sorry i was in a bit of a rush. no if i juggle it they just go back and forth, kinda like there blinking one up one down etc etc. well if its the switch i have a new one that i can throw in.

and for k-rok here is an edited version of my above post
