left highbeams work, lows dont....
Well, I am having some electrical problems. I have a 92 cx, and the lowbeams dont work on the driver side, but the highs do. I cant really figure out why. Can you guys think of any thing obvious?

did you pull out the bulb and tried it on the other side?? if it does the same thing then buy a new bulb. Otherwise check fuses

not the wiper switch but the turn signal switch.

On mine it wasn't the fuses. I bought some Silverstars and installed them careful not to touch the glass of the bulb. After 6 months, the driver's side low beam went out but the high beam worked. I put the stock bulb back in and high and low beams worked. Then 4 months later, the passenger side did the same thing. Now I got my stock bulbs in and I wont be changing them for anything but stock in the future.

I had the same problem with my turn signal. If you replace the light and it still does the same, its either the fuse or a dirty plug.

I got the low beams working, The wrong amperage plug was in.
New problem.
Blinkers, sometimes they work, sometimes they dont, sometimes they are quick, sometimes they are normal. Im baffled here.

What do you mean by wrong amperage....in as much as the bulb draw was too high. There was a rash of people frying headlight subharnesses by using the high wattage aftermarket bulbs. An intermittent glitch like that sounds like some things may be melted.
