Thanks for this information, David P.
I appreciate the offer flackmaster (I have two old ones --with loose rivets on a couple terminals-- to play with)


1. I'm going to keep the charger on the battery, not start the car, turn on the lights on high beam and time how long it takes for them to go out. Let it cool.

2. Then I'll try it with both new heaters on with lights on and time that.

3. I'll cut off the battery and clean the contacts and retest the above.

4. Depending on results, I'll twist the screw (could be kind of rusty but I can try it on the broken light switches first). Then re-time 1 and 2.

5. I might drop $250 for the LED headlights, Don. Probably worth it to me anyway since I drive so much.

Thanks again
