[Mgs] Flickering MGB lights

[Eric Markley]

Dave,

Checking the grounds is the place to start.
Check that the fuse panel is clean of oil, dirt and corrosion; I recall
reports of gremlins there.
The later B headlight switch can be troublesome when halogens are fitted;
too much current through the circuit causes the switch to fail. Don't know
if this applies to a 67. Many like to add relays to the low beam and high
beam circuits to improve light output and switch life.

Good luck

Listers,
Got in from an evening club meet and noticed on the way home all my
lights, interior and headlights, started to flicker. Since this was
the first time in a long time I've had the car out at night, I
wouldn't have been aware of the  problem.
A ground getting loose somewhere?
This is my 67 BGT that I have an alternator running things as I have
halogens, A/C and FM tuner with CD player in trunk and wanted plenty
of juice. Alternator 2 years old.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Dave Houser
