headlights cutting out

[zedx]

it's an intermittent problem. the headlights can be on for a couple hours or tonight it was close to 5 hours before they cut out. they haven't failed to turn back on yet which just makes it harder to find the problem.

this happened to me when I used the cheap HID wannabe bulbs. They run at a higher wattage, and melt our sockets. I had to buy new sockets from walmart and wire them in.

Check them, make sure they aren't melted or damaged in any way.

ok, running standard bulbs though. I'll get them checked today.

thanks.

I was thinking that too, was just wondering if this was a common problem. I was told this happened once before on this truck but they didn't know how it was fixed, just knew it was fixed.
