The short will cause the headlight to glow full bright. Once the short is cleared the other lights will illuminate dimmly as will your fuse replacement and now it is safe to reinstall the fuse.<br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydp9b3bd3cesignature"><div style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none;"><div style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none;"><div><font size="4">Dave <br></font></div><div><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;"><br></span></div><br></div></div></div></div>
