I have tripod headlamps on my TR3.

 

For some time, only the driver side would work on low beam, and the
passenger side only on high beam.

 

I have taken everything apart, and there is no problem with either the
wiring or the bulbs.

 

When I plug in sealed beam units, both sides work on high and low beams.

 

Could it be that the draw from the higher performance lamps is causing the
problem?
