here is my problem: i recently had a headlight go out, so i went to autozone and bought some new bulbs. The bulb that was out was on the driver's side. I changed both of the bulbs and then checked to see if they worked. But for some reason, the drivers side still did not work. So i thought i just bought a bad bulb so i switched them up. Now that they are on the opposite sides, the passenger side still works, but the driver's side does not work still.
What the hell happened to the driver's side headlight????

Thanks in advance

 

there's a seperate fuse for both the drivers side and passanger and its probably blown

either that you have bad wiring some where.

 

where can i find the fuse?

 

did u have an aftermarket bulbs in it? if so, ur stock harness is prolly burned out and needs to be replaced wit an aftermarket harness.

 

I'm not exactly sure but I believe they are labeled HEAD L and HEAD R they might be either in the engine bay fuse box (next to the battery) or in the cabin fuse box (lower left hand area of the dashboard).

 

Check fuses, if not that then change your harness wire.

 

Pretty sure they're in the cabin fuse box

 

very common problem. inspect your wire harness and see if it looks a little (or a lot) melted.

 

there are separate fuses for high and low only, not left and right. if the light doesnt work on high or low beam chances are the ground is bad.

 

thanks everyone. i got it fixed.

 

What was the issue?

 

i have a plug and play upgraded harness and i went to align my driver's side to make it a little lower. I go in and reach for the aligning screw and i moved the harness and my headlights go outs on the driver side. I thought it was maybe the harness design or something. I go to the passanger side wiggle it and stuff and nothing. I go back to the driver side and i touch it softly and it turns off. I dont know why it doesnt turn off while i'm driving tho. I figure the harness on the driver side is messed up. Since i have a plug and play unit with my upgraded harness i didn't have to splice anything. But i personally think, my orignal socket and wiring to the socket is screwed up. Should i just get a harness to splice into the driver side only?

 

No, its left and right like I originally said for 95-99 maximas. Check your haynes manual or service manual and it clearly lays the circuit out. There AREN'T seperate fuses for high and low. Mabye if your max is a canadian or something with daytime running lights mabye its wired differently.

The fuses are labeled h lamp RH and h lamp LH in the engine bay. Try it out yourself.

 

Just splice the original wires before it gets to the stock harness and solder those wires to your upgraded harness. Or you could by a multimeter and find out exactly where the fault is.

 

you are right, my bad. im so used to working with my aftermarket harness
