headlight lag
Tuesday, December 22, 2009 10:07 AM
When I turn my headlights on, the passenger side light goes from "drive light" to low beam immediately where my driver side light lags a little and after about a 2 second pause kicks into low beam from the drive light. This only happens the first time I turn them on. If I turn them back off and right back on, there is no delay. I remember it didn't always do this but I don't recall when it started either. Not a big deal, just wondered if it is indicative of a bigger problem. Ideas?

sounds like the headlight relay is on the way out.

The weather doesn't affect it. It's done it for over a year with no change. Relay is a good call, I'll switch 2 and see if it still does it.

Hmm, maybe just a "cavalier thing" like wet rear brakes.
