Headlights Not working right

[k9flip]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem with my TTA headlights.. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont? Any help would be great. I have read that there are kits that u could change the gears.. Is this hard to do? Has anyone done this.. Thanks again..

Make sure that's your problem first. Do you hear the motors when the lights don't come up?

Don't forget the relay.

I do hear the motor running.. I talked to a friend of mine on here and she told me to hold the button in, instead of pushing it and letting it go.. It seems to work when I do that.. you think I should get one of those kits?

Don't jump right on the kit rebuild bandwagon just yet.
The switches eventually wear some, try doing a "pressure test" with your fingers. If you have to push it harder to engage the headlights, this could be the issue.

I recall within the past couple years seeing someone on the forums offering a switch replacement or rebuild or something of the sort. The replacement part matched up well to the looks of the original.

I bet it's the switch, if they work when you press hard on it then try replacing that one ...

Thats what was wrong with my headlights, worn out switch. Replaced with the Well, and they work good now. The only thing is the Gray color is a little brighter color than the oem.

You can also try to clean the old switch contacts, that might help.
