Subject: Re: Light switch problem
Hi Ari,
I own a RD04 and I had the same problem a few months ago. In the light
switch, to go from low to high beam there is a metallic piece (about 1 cm
long and 1 mm large) with little springs all inserted in a plastic piece
(you can open it and have a look). Due to the increase of temperature due
to the two lights on, the plastic was a little melted so that the sping
cannot play their role anymore. So I have used a small knife to 'clean' the
plastic melted and free the springs. A few wekks after, same trouble. I
have done it again and use until now only one light. No more problem !
Gilbert,
