Low Beam Headlite flashes intermittently

[weightlifter99]

My headlite on my 82 Goldwing Interstate on low beam only will intermittently flash on and off forcing me to run the high beam all the time. Any ideas as to what the cause and cure is for this situation?

hmmmmmm ....this is strange ,,im clueless at the moment

My guess would be the switch for high/low is dirty and or weak on the low beam side. Or the low beam element in the light is broken and making intermittent contact.

Could there be a modulator fur the headlight installed? Maybe by a po? Sounds like you make have a bad connection for the low beam.. check the connectors and the fairing jumper connector .. ground it's good high beam is working okay ...

Bad headlight bulb filament is my guess as well.

The headlights on one of my 1970 Dodge Chargers started blinking one night. After a few days of not being able to drive at night I took the the switch out of the dashboard pried it open and cleaned it, they worked normally until I sold the car.

~O~
