driver side high beam out H4 euros

[Ron Wainwright]

  Brett,

  I used 4 relays 2 for low and 2 for high I all so
used 10g wire, shrink wrapped connectors, in line
fuses 20 amp,I spent a little time on the harness and
grounded it to the jump start post

 I thought that the filament was toast as well but as
it was getting dark out yesterday I did change the
driver side bulb and still the same thing happened as
described before
 so it's not the bulb
it's got to be corrosion in the driver side high beam
wire or the relay for the driver side high beam is
toast
 I'm going to get another relay from Radio Shack to
rule that out but as I was looking at everything this
morning some of the connections to the relays are
corroded so I'll all so clean them off.

  I'll let you and the list now whats up.
Thanks
Ron
