hiya, yeah this happened on my NL, Its a 60AMP one. its because I put 100W highbeam lights in it, If i remember right, (black box with i think a purple and a yellow wire going to it) the standard curcit breaker could not handle 2 100W's and 2 55W

What I did was go to Jaycar and buy a curcit breaker from there, (80amp) with a trip switches.

You can tell when they are all worn out cos the pins that go into the black c/breaker go rusty and don't make a good connection.

Its common on the EF/EL that people what brighter lights (and who could blame them!!)

But I have seen the c/breakers under the radiator tank just blow on normal 55W lights too .

ED's had a bigger c/breaker and thicker cables.

Hope this helps.

Haded it while i was away and it died, had to hard wire the lights to come on with the key in the on pos.

I also run a much bigger braker cos I sometime out extra driving lights on my car...

good luck

Yeah, that's what I would have guessed. The circuit breaker is breaking becuase of something else. Sure, the circuit breaker might be old and worn, but there is some overloading or a short causing the issue ....

Although I wouldn't trust me as far as I could throw me.

Damnit, THAT is why I should read to the bottom of a thread before quoting and replying...!!!!

Glad to of helped!

Laticia.

if i upgrade the breaker is there a chance that it mite over heat wiring or anything like that ?

so does it only happen on high beams to?

it happens on normal head lights and high beams but normal head lights just takes a bit longer like 5 mins or so i think maybe wires getting to hot and tripping the breaker
