ok. my passenger headlight only turns on when i turn my brights on. if i have my regular night lights on it won't light up. i put a new connector on it and still nothing. i haven't had a chance to use a test light or volt meter on the wire yet. would you say it's either a shorted wire or a bad switch?

are you sure the bulb is ok? there are 2 filaments in the H4 bulb (1 for hi, 1 for low) on USDM 8G headlights. it is very possible your low beam filament is bad and the high beam filament is working still.

first check the bulb then use a test light but more than likely ^^^^^

ok. at the time it wouldn't light up low or high. i put a new bulb in and still nothing. then the new connector and my high beams worked. oh well i'm saying screw it(i failed my auto electrics class...slightly because i was high every morning) and taking it to a shop friday. grandfather's paying for that and an alignment. thanks for your input guys

Check the low beam wire for frays or cuts!
