New lamp bulbs ars NOT required.
These do not burn out gradually. II
the filament of the lamp becomes
broken or otherwise injured, it will
give no light at all. The leakage in
current may be due TO loose ground
connections II is quite probable,
however, that the trouble lies in a
defective fuse. Since the battery Is
in good condition, there is some
where undue resistance TO the cur
rent supplied to the head lamps.
There is a fuse in the fuse box con
trolling the head lights, and would
suggest that this be replaced. Also
note II all electrical connections are
clean and tight, including those in
the fuse box.
