May have just been a bad crimp connection.

Subject: Re: High beams not working

I mounted my two relays under the instrument pod cover on the left side of
the instrument pod. There is a flat spot there, just behind the light switch
that is easy to get to. When my lights failed  - I found a discolored wire
into the relays - indicating heat from to much load. And the relays were
dead of course. Changed the relays and all was well.
Heavier relays and maybe a change in wire sizes may be in order - and I
don't have the 100 watt bulbs!
