1992 civic dx headlight issue
Whats up guys, i have a 1992 civic dx hatchback that i have owned sine 2002. I've been having a little issue with my head lights. at times the low beams will not work and only the high beams will. well today it's totally different. on the driver side both low and high beam work but on the passenger side neither one works. i checked all fuses and none are blown, i check my ballast and both are fine, i check the bulbs and they too are fine. I'm kind of stuck, any ideas? what i did notice though is that i am not getting any power to to the passenger side head lamp. do you have any idea what could be causing this? a bad switch maybe? any kind of help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I think if the switch was bad the head lamps would be acting up together. But being that they're malfunctioning independently, I'm gonna guess that you're wiring is funky somewhere.
I would suggest getting a wiring diagram if you're not familiar with it and check for bad connections, burned insulation somewhere, or anything not kosher.
If you had an extra known good switch, it would be quick to swap that out to eliminate that as a possibility.

Ballast....meaning you have aftermarket HID kit, correct? Check your ground and connections. Then again, it could be a ballast going bad.

Re: 1992 civic dx headlight issue
**Update** so on my break from work i double checked my fuses and i must have over looked these last night but the passanger side fuses were indeed blown but i could not tell since these fuses did no pop in the middle but at the very bottom of the fuse, weird i know and a rookie mistake on my behalf. Thank you guys for assistance.
