thats what i think too.
when i was doing the instal, i plugged the new left bulb in & checked to see that it worked before buttoning it all back up...it worked fine
maybe i should unbutton everything again & fiddle with the conector ...emery the conectors inside it ??
i'm quesing here...lol

Check the wire in the picture below. If you break it on the left of side of the car it will knock out both sides of the lamps.

you were spot on - thank-you Roger !
i was a little intimidated to take those 2 headlight bracket things apart again but hey i'm learning lol
gave all the conectors a swipe with the emery paper & everything works perfect
thanks again bud !
