Much help needed - typ. 89 headlights

sorry, should have replied last time you asked, though the details are
better this time... leading to at least a wild guess.  I would check the
quality of the grounds if I were you - at the bulbs.  There are no
relays for the lights, but there is a comparator thing that will tell
you if a bulb is dead, this can be jumpered for testing...
