Highbeams work, but lowbeams don't..

Maybe this is an easy thing to fix, but it has me in a bind...

The passenger-side lowbeam stopped working, so I bought a new headlight. But before I installed it, I checked and the highbeam works for that headlight. Also my drivers-side fog stopped working, so it sounds like something with wiring, but I don't know?


Maybe someone can help?!

H4s are dual filament...low beams get used more and thus fail more often.

Replace it.

its could be the wiring. If the wiring is melted then that could happen. It happened to me

Thanks 'Ice'.. I was under the impression that newer bulbs weren't dual-filament, but appearantly I was wrong.

I'll get right on the bulb change.

Is it just me or are anyone else's headlights a PAIN to pull out to change?

i put h4 bulbs in mine and melted the stock light sockets. i had to replace the socket. that caused the drivers side low beam not to work sounds like it may be the same problem. that would be what i checked.
