electrical issue with headlight/indicator
really need some help guys
right, on my indy the passenger headlight is very dull when on, also when on normal beam the indicators light up (constant and dull), when on full
beam the passenger headlight goes of completely. also when main lights are on the left indicators flash really quickly so resistance is out?
any ideas guys?

Sounds like the headlight is earthing through the indicator circuit, or the other way round.
I'd be taking the front and back lights apart, and checking the wiring.

Bad earth methinks as well.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

I had a very interesting fault on mine where the sidelights would come on whenever the brakes were applied - much to the amusement of the SVA testers
at Chadderton!
Can I suggest you start simple? After weeks of messing and issues mine turned out to be a faulty bulb - maybe check bulbs, then rear lights, then
front lights, then junctions where the loom meets - maybe an insultator has come off a connector?

Check the voltage of the bulbs also - just to make sure they're 12V !
