Default OB Headlight Relay

Has anyone figured out a work around for a dead headlight relay? Mine is shot and so far, I haven't been able to locate another one on the face of the earth.

Anybody have one that they would be willing to part with? Or figured out something else? I'm really tired of not being able to drive at night!

Thanks!

Brian,

I've been told you can take it apart. File the contacts to make them smooth and it should work.

Best,

Steve

Brian,
I have hoarded some used ones for my own use. I will part with one for $50.
We do need to work out an alternative.

PSA: Sometimes if you believe your relay does not work, just manually cycle the headlights up, then turn on your ignition, and possibly, your lights will work again. An old relay got fried, I replaced it, but it still did not work, until I luckily tried this. The headlights must have been on the wrong cycle for the power coming in. Now everything is good.
Thanks again Herman.
One step closer to driving this machine.
Cheers
Don
