Subject: Re: Light switch problem
Hi Ari !
Yes, you´re right: Your problem is caused by the selfmade double low beam
light!
I had exactly the same problem last year, about 10.000kms after having
modified my lights.
The reason is, that the second low beam light doubles the electric
current, so the switch is getting too hot.
The Twins that have double beam since production use a second "Relais" to
avoid this problem.
But don´t worry: As you open carefully the light switch you can see some
grease on the contacts. This grease will be completely black/burned.
Clean up the contacts and the rest of the switch, put in some fresh
contact-grease, set it up again and everything will be fine again (anyway it was
in my case!).
So in future you have to assemble a second Relais or "downgrade" a single
low beam (that´s what I did)...
Jörg.
