My left front headlight is running very dim on my 95 D1. The right one is fine. Additionally, my parking lights won't come on when I flip the light switch to the first position, but they do when I turn the lights on fully. The last lighting gremlin is that when I do turn the lights on, the dash and parking lights will not come on immediately (the headlights do though) - but invariably come on after a 30-90 second delay. Any ideas on this one? Thanks!!! | ||

- Re: dim headlight -- check your headlight fuses. There's a fuse for the left dip beam that I'd bet you've blown for some reason. I'm at work so I don't have access to my manuals but it's in the fusebox under the steering wheel, check all four that are denoted with the headlight symbol. - Re: Parking lights -- meaning which lights? Do your tail lights come on? Do the "little" bulbs in the headlights come on? I'm pretty sure nothing else comes on in the first position... - Re: Instrument panel -- bad connection; where is beyond me but I'd guess near the dash somewhere. Hope this helped, Andy | ||

Thanks Andy. I will never figure out this Lucas wiring. Turns out it is a dying light switch. I spent hours checking all the wires and fuses and everything looked fine. I gave up and took it in. They took apart the light switch, cleaned it a bit and now everything is fine, although I am guessing the remaining life of the switch is probably limited. Cheers, Todd | ||

If your front headlight is very dim, like the little yellow bulb is only on then it might be the bulb. I got a new one and I haven't had that problem at all. Just an idea. |
