Just put in new Halogens....
Hi all, just got done replacing all the lights- and i've run into a problem! When i put the high beams on, all 4 light up as they should....but when i go to low beam, my right headlight goes out. The old one used to work, and it does work when the high beams are activated....so is this electrical? Maybe a fuse or something? All help is appreciated, as this is my "work on the car" day....
:cheers:

I replaced mine 2 years ago and had a problem something like yours,belive it or not one of the bulbs would work then when you switched to high beam the light would not come on all the time. Aftyer a while it just quit,bad bulb.It was Brand new and lasted only couple weeks...go figure..replacement still good :cheers:

The high beam filament on the low beam unit is probably burned out. It is a double filament unit, believe it or not ;) .

Yep' they're dual filament. To test the bad bulb theory, switch it to the other side. I'd bet that's your problem... Also , when I put mine in, I had to lower them slightly as all the oncoming cars started "flashing" me after the change. A great improvement.

Just wanted to let you guys know...thanks for the help. Actually, i switched sides and there was no problem with the unit...just some faulty/loose wiring. I started to mess with it and it lit up like the sun! Thanks again for the feedback. :cheers:
