Recommended Posts

finally thouhg my car was fiished only to find out that the head lights are not working properly, well the passenger side is working fine, where as the drivers side is not, when i have side lights on nothing comes up at all, when main beam is on the main beam bulb come out but not bright at all, no brighter than a side light and it stays like that when you change it to full beam, i have checked the bulbs and they are fine, i am not good with wiring at all at dont know where to start i had thought if it was wiring is there jsut a plug for the drivers side head lights and i could take the wiring from a scrapper and see if thats the problem, any help would be more than appreciated

 

thanks jean

For the headlight, check the earth block by the headlight, slightly under and inboard of the light, mounted on the front panel and very likely covered in a plastic cover like a mini shower-cap! These corrode and give poor contact.

 

The sidelight is probably corroded contacts either where the bulb pushes in or the connection between the white holder and the loom.
