Mark,
     You want to confirm that it is not a battery
problem by disconnecting the ground and see if in the
morning you need a jump.   When you do this you can
also use a voltmeter to determine if you have a drain
somewhere.   You should find that you do have one from
the clock.   Pull the clock fuse after you get the
positive test for a drain from that circuit.   You can
systematically go from there one fuse at a time.   My
drain turned out to be the clock fuse circuit which
was caused by the lighter.   hope this helps.   gary

Subject: New headlights and low battery

Greetings all,

I dutifully searched Gerry, in it's eternal slowness,
but couldn't find
what I was looking for, so grizzled, grumpy veterans
avert ye eyes.

The past couple of days, my otherwise new battery in
my '91 Camper has
been draining and needing a jump in the morning.  The
only change to
the
car in the past few weeks is the installion of the
GoWesty headlight
upgrade, which I'm all but sure is the cause.  I'm not
clear why,
though.  The upgrade is as simple as it gets, two
wires cut, four wires
added, a relay and ground wire attached to that nifty
VW ground ring.
The only two causes my limited noodle can figure is
either: a) some
contact that occured when I jammed that fuse panel
back up there or b)
the alternator can't support the higher-powered
lights.

Any feedback that doesn't involve an insult or
groaning complaint that
this topic has been talked to death is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
-MB
