My voltage regulator on the alternator melted the other night .. Could smell the batteries getting hot I thing but not apparent damage done?? But at the same time I lost both dip beams.. All fuses seem good! I recently did the headlamp rewire mod and followed Mr AXEMAN's solution .. Worked perfectly !!! Could the power surest have fried my dip/ main switch as everything looks to be ok except no power to the relays on dip???

Well.... An almost catastrophic chain of events...
Voltage reg melted(14.5 upgrade from euro parts just over 12 months old)
This blew both my "night breakers" ( but right at the very top so they looked fine!!
Started to boil my battery ( no mistaking that smell)
A fuse blew but took a meter to prove as it also looked fine!
So in between blasting rain showers and 2days later, after pulling apart my lamp rewire setup looking for a fault and questioning the switch integrity ... Sorted it all with new bits!!
