ok so my drivers side head light is out...havent checked the bulb yet..but when i turn on my brights both of the headlights work properly but theyre the brights but when my lowbeams are on just the passengers side headlight works...anybody have this experience with this before? im kinda lost about it and my friends 94' tahoe had the same thing happen to him where his lights only worked when his brights were on and just one worked when his lows were on

 

The bulbs have two filaments in them, your low beam is just blowed. Replace them both at the same time because its a sure sign the other one will blow right after.

 

so since the highbeams work..its a good indication that its just the bulb?

 

4th Generation maxima headlights use 9004 bulbs. These are Dual filament bulbs. Which means your low beams use filaments totally separate from your highbeams. That being said you can have one blow out whilst the other is fine. Looks to be whats happening with your headlight now. All you need is a new bulb.

 

YEPPERS, just replace em both and you'll be fine!!

 

thanks guys! now i have to buy new bulbs...and i dont want cheap 10 dollar ones either...
