one headlight doesn't work....any ideas (not a common problem thread)
 
ok so my issue is with my right headlight, OEM xenon headlights with 3k HID fogs.

the issue is that my fogs and headlight doesn't come on at all while my turning signal does. This is a weird part. I used a friends headlights to pass state inspection since my housing and side marker were blacked out. his headlights were OEM xenon headlights as well and both headlights worked properly with no issues. i put my headlights back on the next day and same thing as before right headlight and fog doesn't work.

so with that information what could be the issue? if i missed any information let me know and any help/ideas is appreciated.

so like a bad connections or bad ground.

reconnect your plugs , make sure the ends of the plugs arent wet or corrade.

You should be able to clean those up with a water/baking soda mix, toothbrush and pipe cleaner. If you can get some embry cloth down in there to sand afterwards then it will be like it never happened.

Yeah you should be able to clean that up dude, use water/baking soda, or might try some coca cola. Ok maybe someone can help me out it's the same prob but different. I had my RH headlight go out, so I decided to dig into it and replace my projectors with real hid ones (I have hid kit) now my RH ones work and my LH headlight doesn't work. I'm thinking it might be a relay. Anybody know where the relays are for the individual headlights? Thanks.

I am pretty sure they are under the hood either next to the battery or opposite side next to washer fluid fill cap.

the relay should be by the washer fluid u will have to take off the cover on the passenger side
