Headlight Issue

So it appears that my passenger side headlight has decided not to work. The passenger daytime running and the low beams seem to be angry at me (not turning on). Both headlights work when I turn my high beams on though.

I've replaced both bulbs as well as the fuses to no avail. I'm getting a little frustrated and would love some help

Cheers dudes!

Check the wires that go onto the plug. The could have come loose from the plug, or they may have broke in half all together...

Thanks a lot dude

It sucks my car came without a manual and finding anything diagram wise online has been difficult.


The wires all seem to be in good condition so I'm thinking it's gotta be the relay as well, now I just gotta find it :P

it's not the relay, cause one relay for each high and low (2 total) control both head lamps, the fuses are after that, so possibilities are: connection from relay to fuse, fuse to lamp, lamp to ground. that's all there is in the circuit as far as i could see...PM me if you can read a wiring diagram, i'll get you what you need, if you need help just ask, i'm an avionics systems technician, wiring is my specialty

If that doesn't ring true either, the next thing I'd look at is the multi-switch itself. Weird things like what you're describing can happen if the switch is bad. Hopefully it's just a relay.

(if there's the off chance your car is from the states, and has an aftermarket DRL system, I'd take a peek at it as well)
