Headlight Mod starting point

[one_dusty_hoot]

Hey Mike!, this thread goes back a long ways to Message #12391 when
you said you were heading to Montana in 2 weeks. Do you have that
generator running yet?

We don't want you to miss the bus, it's yours! And...we hate to see
you heading West without the air, been there, done that. Even with
the windows open you can get little air.

Give a report on what you have found and done, surely one of us
here have had a similiar situation. We have all the answers but
slap outta questions.

You said the "Light" did not come on when you pressed the switch.
Have you checked the fuses?
Have you measure any voltages?
