Thanks, Zed, for your reply... The fuses are fine ... but the guy who owned
it before me said sometimes the headlights would turn off while he was
driving and then he'd just have to turn them off and then on again. It does
sound like a short though... So when we're talking wiring harness am I
looking near the headlights? Or further down the line?
