Re: Headlights playing up
Hi Brenton,
Sounds like a wiring loom problem to me. The IPF Fatboys are best operated with an upgraded wiring loom for extra protection and I had them running with the ARB loom with no problems at all.

Re: Headlights playing up
Brenton,
If its a factory driving light wiring loom then yes it does run through the headlight loom. If you exceed the wattage of your lights in total, then your looms will start to melt away.
i suggest a seperate loom for any pair of lghts that you are running.

Re: Headlights playing up
Brenton,
It's very easy to install the ARB wiring loom upgrade as it uses the factory harness plugs for the headlights. It's been discussed in detail HERE
Well worth the investment and am still using it with my HID headlights.

Re: Headlights playing up
Brenton,
It depends on how your driving lights are wired-up, if they're playing up chances are they're getting power from the factory headlight loom and relay, which is adding even more load on the very thin factory headlight wires and they are melting.

Re: Headlights playing up
Depends on the wattage and number of driving lights added to the headlight wiring.
I would expect the fuses to blow first.

Re: Headlights playing up
I think it would be best to take it to an auto electrician Brenton.
This way he could diagnose the problem quickly. It could be as simple as a faulty relay.
