I must say, Mark was the only one who got it right the first time. I think, the main point was that the ground wires are common to both headlights while the power supply is separate. That explains why both go the same time. I may need to cut off the end of it to get rid of the corrosion and burnt copper. I will solder on the new connector. Thanks all and especially the winner; Mark Drillock. (he has been the winner in many puzzle solving) Best regards, Zoltan ----- Original Message ----- From: "mark drillock" <mdrillock@cox.net> To: "Zolly" <zolo@FOXINTERNET.NET> Cc: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Sunday, November 14, 2010 4:37 PM Subject: Re: Hmm.
