<VV> Electrical Problem

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

It's a common problem. Halogen lights usually draw more current than those  
old feeble T3s. And the 'trip current' isn't very consistent switch to switch.  
The real answer? A relay!

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
