Unhappy 68 Headlight problems

I have a 1968 Ranger and both my headlights blink intermitently. They are on, then blink at the same time. They blink at around the same speed as the turn indicators. And i have checked all the ground and they are good. Any help would be nice.

If the grounds are good, then I would check the wiring at the headlight switch. See if any are loose.

It sounds like something is grounding tripping the circuit breaker for the headlights. Check everywhere the wires have a hold down or pass through the firewall.

I don't know if it will help, but mine used to go from bright to dim with engine speed. I put a new Heavy Duty Battery ground cable (must be about 6 guage) with clear plastic insulation from Advance Auto. Cured the problem and also the problem with fuel guage and temp guage reading low.

Good luck.
