Headlights Problem

[DamirGTI 344]

Hi !

I have some problem with headlights on my 1.6 (87year)

Front lights working with low intensity ( they are dim ) , also when i pump brake pedal lights have been going duller ( like flashing to duller when i press pedal and comming back to normal when lift up , same as the light on clock illuminator ) , and then another thing , when i drive car hardley full speed on motorway ( 80-90mph ) lights starts flashing simultaneous from duller too brighter and again as i decrease speed it goes back to normal but again and still dull .

Same thing hapens when i put any electrical item on , like headlights heater blower and wiper in the same time , light gone even more duller

 

So far i have clean earth terminals of headlamps , put new hadlamp bulb connectors , put new bulbs , but nothing worked .

Battery is 6 monts old and headlamps are in reasonable condition .

 

Help , this is driving me insane !!! i can see where im driving at night like a bloody tunnel

 

( hope you understand , sorry for bad writing im from Croatia i spend two hours writing this whit help of dictionary ! )

Just a guess but i would say your alternator is on it's way out. You should be able to get it load tested quite cheaply at a garage or someone on here will explain how to do it.

Could try cleaning the earth lug on the top of the gearbox.

 

Does you battery light ever come on?

Also clean the earth point next to the passenger side h/light on the front panel.
