Default Headlights issue

Hi guys, I have a strange issue with my headlights, they start bright but after 5 mins they drop to really dim, I guess it's something thats over heating so any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Try replacing the relevant fuse and swapping over the relay temporarily.

Could also be a bad earth.

Identify location of the circuit earth using the Electrical Guide and dismantle

it to clean and remake.

Remember that the ground studs will break off easily, E Z does it.
