Have you recently changed the "stock" headlights for someaftermarket Halogen headlamps? When I did that on a 64 Fury I used to have, the lights would do exactly what you say yours are doing.
In my case, I had to install a remote relay which was activated by the headlight switch, but the power for the headlights came directly off the battery...end of problem.
YMMV, Karl

While driving my 1957 Dodge by night, I just noticed something weird, of which I’m sure it didn’t occur before.
When turning the lights on, the switch itself seems to click every 5 seconds. And during that click, for a fraction of a second, the head lights and AMP meter drop.
Does anybody have any clue as to what might cause this? And is it a tell tale for something worse to come?
I am a week from making an almost 1000 mile road trip to the Big Power Meet in Sweden…
Looking forward to your comment/advise/tips…, anything!
