    Left work today got behind a van and notice my headlights are out.:pout:
    Signal light are working.:confused: Turn the corner the stop a the next lights, then I notice my headlight are working.:confused:
    Flipped the high beam on then the headlight went out.:confused::confused:
    Flipped high beams off.Waited about 30 sec. the light came back on.

    So I'm thinking it must be the headlight relay.

    Has anybody had the same problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    I had a similar problem on my 87 700. It turned out to be a sticky starter switch that wasn't coming back out enough to let the headlight come back on. A little lube and it was good to go. That's an easy place to start looking. Hope it's that simple for you. Good luck.

    Thanks v4hor. That worked Like a charm.
    I just move the starter switch around and the headlight came on.

    Speaking of headlight problems, I have an intermittent issue with my 5th gen. I also think it might be a relay sticking. When I switch from lo to high beam, my headlight will go out for 1-3 sec. and then come back on. Same problem if I switch from high to lo. Any ideas????:crazy:

    I'm having a similar problem. My lo-beams work fine, however when I switch to hi-beams the lights go out. Then out of nowhere they will come on for a day or two and then go back out for a while. I've changed the bulbs and still the same issue. I have a 94VFR750.
