Driving at Night , All of the sudden NO HEADLIGHTS

[Donnie Yukonie]

ok so this has happened twice to me now and I'm wondering whats going on
only happens when the high beams are on for a matter of time anyways if i go to my high beams in a matter of time (not long) all the sudden My headlights go completey out ? i still have Interior/parking/tail lights just no headlights i try to switch it back over to low beams and nothing i have to turn the DRLs on just to see after a few minutes i will get a click and my low beams and high beams come back like nothing happened?
no blown fuses
no touching wires
fairly new switch

ideas?

you are overloading the circuit breaker in the switch and it is either the bulbs or yes wiring or a bad switch wiring in the high beam circuit it sounds like.

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

what you mean overloading the CB? so should i start with new bulbs? or is it safe to just maybe up the Fuse by 5?

 

[SunlitComet]

the cb buolt into the switch. you cantit change it by it self. what bulbs you use? can you do an amp draw test?

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

i don't remember what bulbs they are , i will look into my options in the morning , how do you perform a amp draw test

 

[SunlitComet]

put an amp meter in line with each high beam bulb lead wire to see amperage draw.
