Default The passenger side headlight (low beam) wont work.

I've tried 3 new light bulbs on the passenger side headlight (low Beam) and it still doesn't work. I Check the fuse and its fine, and also the high beam works fine. Any idea guys on what might be wrong, and how can i fix this, thanks.

Use a voltmeter to probe the bulb fixture and see if its at least getting power. It sounds like its not but thats the only way to be sure. If you know anything at all about wiring and electronics you should be able to decide what to do next.

Hahahaha. I have those bulbs too. I was told that your not suppose to touch the bulb or else it'll blow out. I went thorough two and my friend kept buying replacements because it kept dying out as well.

yeah, the higher wattage can fry the harness of your headlight.
stock blub is around 80-85wattage?
the super white around 110-120

I use to have those before i got my Hella hid
