i installed halogen headlamps in my Avanti with no problems. if there is something rattling around in the circuit breaker, that's probably the problem. i'd go to NAPA, as stated in Post# 3 and get a newer one. also as others stated, check your dimmer switch and check/install headlamp relay(s).

What ever you do get that corrected its not fun when your headlights go out. You can swap the breaker with a larger one but make sure your circuit can handle that. Remember your high beam is going to draw the most amps, also do check all connectors for good contact including grounds. GOOD LUCKOriginally posted by christophe View PostDon't forget that you already have in your car a very handy and useful amp meter. Thus, you can check how many ampères are drawned by your headlight. This is obvious but I have a tendancy to forget that myself.

I'm sure when I have to replace one on my Stude I'll have to go to reflectors and replaceable bulbs (H4 type) like I've had to with my other cars.
