so i was talking to matt yesterday, and he said some 2cv's cant cope with the load of the halogen headlamp bulbs, as the wire isnt thick enough. well i felt the back of my lheadlight switch, felt a bit warm, bearing in mind i only have one hal light in atm as one arrived broken, but anyway so im running with od headlamps and i know i shouldnt but thats the way life is sometimes.. and matt was saying some late cars are ok and some arent mine is an e reg 1988 thanks

Hot headlamp switch is caused by the dim-dip system....Remove it (He says, even though it's still in situ on his car  )  PS:- there are threads devoted to the removal/disabling of dim-dip, here somewhere. |

You've already got a car that stands out from the crowd - appreciate it for what it is!
