Hello Listers,

I thought some of you might be interested in Charlie Hart's story.  He sent 
it to me this morning.
We really enjoyed our drives to Nelson.  Swell seeing so many of you up 
there in beautiful B.C.

Regards,

David C

This info may be helpful for those who may be affected.

Ever since I finished the BN1, the low beam was never brighter than a 
parking light. Hi beam seemed to be OK. I thought maybe the current was too 
great so I installed relays for both the hi & lo beams. That change didn't 
improve matters. Bought new sealed beam bulbs - didn't help!

Taking a 4700 mi. trip w/ poor lighting is no fun ! Finally after checking 
the three prongs on a spare sealbeam for the correct post using an ammeter, 
I discovered that the hi beam and ground were interchanged on the plug. The 
'headlight pigtail and plug assembly' from Moss # 171-400 purchased 1/5/99 
was incorrect! ( black plug ) They never notified me they sold a defective 
part. The new pigtail (transparent plug) from Moss is correct.

For those - I'm sure there are many - who have dim lo beams, check the 
headlight pigtail. I switched the wires at the plug and now I have lights 
!!!!

CGH
