 Strange headlight fault I've got all the wiring rigged up but only the right hand headlight works... They have been fused into the original fuse box, I can get an ohms reading from the fuse to the right hand headlight but not the left, same as from the switch to the headlight.
*idea* perhaps both headlights have separate fuses, i'll go check...
Cheers
Harley

Re: Strange headlight fault I would be tempted to put new wiring in with a new fuse box.

Re: Strange headlight fault And you did  I saw your thread and it looks so good! But I need to drive this car out of here 3days ago. I have sorted the problem, separate fuses for each headlights, even though it had a fuses it was a bad connection... Cheers! Harley

Re: Strange headlight fault yes each headlamp is seperatly fused , bad connections are common on the original connectors&fuse box
does your 2cv still have the "dim dip" system?

Re: Strange headlight fault I have nfi what the dim dip system is although I have seen it written about in many posts.
When I get back from the raid I will rewire it all as all the wires at the light bar are cracking...

Re: Strange headlight fault Ayjay, dim dip was a UK thing till the euro manufacturers put an end to it.
