yes

i did check the fuses...
would it help if i bought a new 9004 harneess and did the neccessary swap of the old 9004 harness ???

now that i look at it
it looks like the bulbs might have melted the sockets a lil.
however it is only one light not the other and both of them seem to be having the problems.
