Subject:High beam short?
From:Jeffrey Vickers

So I'm driving home the other night and I throw on the high beams and
20 seconds later, they go out. I switch back to low beams and the low
beams are still working---get home and both 10 amp high beam fuses
are blown. I have euro codes with higher watt bulbs (with new grounds
and relays) as well as 100 watt high beams so I tried 20 amp fuses.
Now my right hand high beam works fine but the left is blowing the
fuse. Both low beams OK. No apparent shorts, but I haven't dug out
the relays. Any thought?
