Hi All
I am new it to z (have 1973 -240 Z)- and I have a small (hopeful) problem with my rigth headligth.
When I got the car, both head ligths where very dim, only giving very littel ligth.
To get more ligth (shortly to get though MOT) I installed 80W / 100 W bulb, BUT:
After 1 one houre the left headligth went very dim.
Now I have installed 55 w / 60 W bulb (new) again, but the left headligth stays dim.
I have checked voltage and it reads about 11 volts (both on rigth and left side) meausered at the connection in the front.
I have takes the left side wiring, from connection in the front out, and tried it on the rigth side, and here it works fine (so wiring to bulb in left side seem ok)
One funny thing is, is I unplug rigth headligth, there is now ligth (what so ever) in left side, is that normal (serial connected)?
Can anyone give me a hint where to look for a solution to the problem?
Where is the relay for the headligth located?
I also need to know it the following is normal on a 240 Z:
When I use the turn indicator, the side position ligths (yellow front / red back) also blinks?
Is that normal?
My problem is, that it is not legal in Denmak that the back red position ligths blinks, so I need to get them to stay on (as the position lamps ) in the tail.
I hope some one can help me, so I can get my z though MOT, then pay registration fee, and then get some licens plats.
best regards
Thomas
