Headlight keeps turning blue and dies out
I am on my second one NOW. I guess I should see what the voltages are the the plug in's. These Lights ain't cheap. I might have to put a voltage regulator on it. This happens on only one side. hmmmm Suggestions ?

Check the ground connection on the lamp that keeps failing.

Hello Michael,
These are the wire numbers for the headlights (both).
wire #17 - High Beam
wire #18 - Low Beam
wire #91 - Ground
Kind regards....

Hello again Michael,
You are correct....and yes...... you are right and I am wrong ! I checked back through all the wiring diagrams I have and it does show 91, not 93.
I've corrected that post but I'm still trying to discover how I mistook the number. My wife is always repeating a TV advert to me..."You should have gone to Spec-Savers." Maybe she's right, too.

Re: Headlight keeps turning blue and dies out
No problem. Now neither lights work. ERRRR
All 91 wires are properly grounded. It could either the toggle switch are the high-low switch, i believe.
