It should cost you no more than 30bucks to have it done properly...
Just take it to the auto leccy adn say ive blow the high beam fuse a few times can you wire up a new in line fuse holder for me, and tehy will have it done in about 30mins...
You'll never get it fixed unless you are an auto electrician... So dont even bother trying yourself otherwise its just gonna cost you more in the long run. Get it doen properly the first time.
mate happened to me, took it to the auto elec and they done it for free, they said its the relay that plays up, and they just replaced the relay and done furture testings, he was a good bloke
Yeah I took mine to a mate who is an auto electrician and he said he had rewired his old VL and the lights were 100x better so he did it to mine and he was right they are awesome + i have new lights so the reflecters are in good nick.
What he did was put in a circuit breaker and seperate relays for high and low beam and bring the volts straight from the +ve battary battery terminal so that the original fuse is needed to make a circuit but is drawing next to no current so it never melts and now the lights are getting all the power they need and i've got to admit i was extremly surprised at how much better they are

no the interior and glovebox and boot light have their own fuse seperate to any other lights (i think the analogue clock in the dash is also on this circuit) the highbeam fuse is only for highbeam
i got my high beams working.. and interia light.. jsut waiting for the fuse rail to melt as everyone says it doees when you get some new lights.. and i got some just for the hell of it but! my boot light and release button doesnt work anymore.. and i have no idea why as it always workd and just stoped for no reason.. any ideas? and also.. the lights get better and brighter if you get a circuit breaker and relays?
