<VV> 65 headlinghts go off

[Ron]

It's the circuit breaker in the headlight switch.  It could be defective or 
it could be overloaded.  Does it do it only when on high beams and do you 
have after market headlights or fog lights that go on with the headlights? 
It's my feeling that the new replacement switches from Mexico won't tolerate 
as much load as the original switches.  You may need to bypass the switch 
with relays to carry the load and use the switch only to operate the relays.
