    Default Upgraded ae86 headlight bulbs now flickering and buzzing

    Hi. I replaced the headlight bulbs in my ae86 (adm) with some different ones and now they buzz loudly (like a relay is going crazy) and the lights flicker.

    How do I fix it?

    New bulb:

    check connections, and check headlight relay?

    Yeah I checked most connections and they seemed ok. But i havent checked the one behind the headlight switch. Will try to get at that one during the week.

    they are standard current 55/60W globes so should not be drawing any more current than normal.

    could also be dodgy earthing or old cables broken inside. wiggle stuff and see what happens
