Thanks for your input Bert,
I will look for the two channel relay once I go to the market. Maybe
its available. Would make a little less clutter behind the dash.
Unfortunately for me Uncle Express ( lol at that term coined by you!!)
has already arrived in Pakistan. However he is in another city which happens
to be my birthplace and maternal town so I ave not met him or recieved the
goodies yet.
For most of the listees not folllowing the Uncle Express story, Bert
was kind enough to send some parts for my 68 bug via an uncle based in
Washington DC whos just arrived in Pakistan.
Thanks a million Bert!

Hi, Asad,
You've already read the other replies by now. They're all correct. Your
switches and wires can't handle high amperage (current) draws. Using
separate power relays (Arbeitsstromrelais) is one option. There are also
several manufacturers -- both American and European -- that make
two-channel
headlight relays. Your switch merely activates the channel relay, and
there's a direct 30 + battery feed that is then switched straight to the
selected headlights. I install emergency equipment (sirens, red lights,
blue lights, etc.) and use them occasionally.
If you cannot find one locally, let me know. Maybe we can use the Uncle
Express or a similar system to get one to you. They are not expensive.
Bert

Volks,
I had fit a brand new headlight relay earlier for the probs I
described.
Still there was a smell of overheating while driving the bug at night.
