hello, i'm new to this site & i'm having a slight issue w/ my wife's passenger side headlight. i noticed about a week ago that herb passenger's side bulb went out, so i finally got around to changing it yesterday. well i changed both bulbs w/ 2 brand new bulbs & still nada w/ the right bulb. should i next change to the fuses (in & out) to see if that will fix the issue?

 

Check your bulb receptacle/connector maybe it's melted the connector body and not allowing the contacts to fully connect....Pep Boys sell Hi-Temp connectors and them seemed to cure my problems on both my 4th and 3rd gen headlights which run high wattage bulbs! Break out you VOM and start checking the connector's pins.

 

time for an upgrade!!!

 

buy new headlights, nice and shine.

 

It could be a fuse. Each headlight has it's own fuse. The fuses are under the hood by the battery and are labeled H/LAMP RH and H/LAMP LH.

In addition to checking the bulb socket, it is a possibility for a bad switch on the steering column,

 

thanks i will check that hopefully by weeks end.

 

this was my next step, but it was cold as F*CK the day i changed her headlights, so i wanted to get it done as soon as i could. i'm hoping it warms up a little this week for me to check it during her my lunch. thanks in advance.

 

Check the grounds. A bad ground on that side would cause both high and low beams to be dead.

 

high beams work fine, but it doesn't hurt to check it while i'm looking under there. many thanks!

 

Fuses and grounds will affect both the low and high beam.

If the high beam works, then the wire connection in the socket for the low beam has a problem or the headlight switch has a problem.

 

Check fuses and or connector/ harness ect
