    check voltage between terminals of the headlight socket. then, check the voltage against a known good ground and check the ground against the positive side of the battery. this will pinpoint the circuit giving you the symptom.

    sounds like poor electrical connection. check them all, including the socket itself. sometimes, the socket is so old, it doesn't offer good electrical connection anymore.
    check mo din yung bulb. baka pang-24 volts ... heh heh..

    there are no 12 volt sealed beams available. even the heavy duty peterbilt, mack trucks, sterlings use 12 volt head light sealed beams

    ah... i was refering to bulbs, not sealed beam headlights. looking at the threadstarter's handle, i assumed his headlight uses bulbs and not sealed beams. in surplus stores, one occasionally encounters bulbs from other vehicles...24 volts.. i know, because i experienced it years ago...

    but if he means, the headlight was bright before, and now dim, then i believe it's a problem of electrical connection..

    i hope that clarifies things.

    cheers.

    pahabol: Heeey! the threadstarter is the liteace guy from the other thread! so, is your liteace sealed beam rectangular headlight, or bulb-type?
