Last Friday evening while driving home from a car show I lost my headlights on my 59 corvette. The tailights and dash lights still worked but no high beams or low beams. I noticed when I reached for the emergency brake that it was quite warm around the switch area. I let it sit in the garage over night and started to trouble shoot the following Sunday, but than they worked fine. Its hard to find the trouble when everything works. The manuals say that they are protected by a circuit breaker which I beleive is built into the switch. On fri eve I also snapped the dimmer switch a couple of times to no avail.
I have replaced a couple of headlamps over the years. Do you guys think its possible that I have too large of wattage for the circuit breaker? Also there are no ground straps on the car, could this be the problem? Matbe its looking for a ground in all the wrong places.
