I had a similar problem in our 744 Ti - it stalled when I put the high beams on.

ITS IN THE FAQ!!!

Grounding problem in the left front fender.

The lights hog all the ground available cheating the ignition system.

I checked all the grounds and also cleaned the attachment of the antilock tower, as something is grounded to it.

I took a good look at the battery cables and found corrosion inside the battery end of the positive cable, some strands had rotted away. I cleaned and soldered the connection. The small wire just pulled off!

I also checked the engine to body grounds - as I remember there is one at the top of the engine and one at the bottom.
