I own a vt 97 berlina and ive noticed when driving at night my head light quickly flicker when the indercator lever clicks back after turning a cornering. It does it everytime the indicator turns off. Only flickers with the low beam but not the highbeam. any healp will be great

My VS Ute has this same problem, the flicker only happens sometimes and it's for a split second.
If there is a lot of fiddling i don't think it's worth going into.

My VP was doing this too, buying a indicator stalk off eBay soon fixed it.

The problem I was having was the switch. It was faulty and shorting out with the high-beam switch causing the relay to trigger.

I'd just open the bonnet and flick the indicator stalk flat out and listen for relays to go off when the problem happens.

Mine does it too. Either get a new stalk, ignore it (like me), or simply stop using your indicators. Option 3 seems to be most popular these days
