I'd recommend a good analog meter, instead. Analog meters are
better for some troubleshooting because they are quicker and
don't show transient fluctuations as readily. Though, having
both is a better option since a digital meter comes with more
functionality out of the box than analog. Check Lowes or Home
Depot for digital meters. Hit Radio Shack for the analog.

First of all Get a good Digital voltmeter you can get them at auto
parts stores don't be cheap.


Not a bad idea, I had been considering an analog meter because sometimes the
digital are too sensitive. But this could be a good reason as well.

Try a volt meter. It could be a cell is going in the battery, or the
headlights could need replaced.

I didn't realize old head lights would do that. I'll swap them out and see
what happens.


Make sure you test the battery first. My Safari headlights got dimmer
and dimmer. I switched them out with Wall Mart specials. Been fine
ever since. But that was due to cloudy glass, in front of the bulb.
