<VV> Electrical Problem

[Harry Yarnell]

'similarly equiped'? Same identical lamps? If not' yours are drawing more 
current than the breaker in the headlight switch can stand. Measure the 
current...

My '62 wagon came with standard aftermarket Halogen headlights and an 
alternator replacing the generator. The problem is that the headlight switch 
breaker trips when driven with the high beams on.  My other Corvairs are all 
similarly equipped and none of them have ever had that problem.  The 
headlights are bright and no shorts are in evidence and the voltage is 
within normal values.  Are the replacement light switches weak?  Two of them 
have fried so far. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
RonH
