Only one headlight comes on at night, is this a wiring issue?
Hey, i'm not sure if this is a wiring issue.
My day time headlights work fine on both sides, but when i turn on my night lights only one headlight works, is it a wiring issue?

Probably a fuse underneath the dashboard, by the drivers side. I thinks its a 13. This happended to me the othe day and i bought new headlights but when i replaced them, still did not work. Then i started to look at all the fuses and there it was, a burn fuse. 
Oh well, at least got new bright bulbs. Try abother bulb on the headlight too, that way if it doesnt work you can rule out the bulb. Good luck.

swap the bulbs first and try ur lights
do u mean when u put ur headlights on they both show up and then when u put ur high beams only one comes on? or visa versa?
if swappin the two bulbs doesnt work then check your fuses.

Re: (GOTSUBZ)
i know his bulb is fine otherwise the DRLs wouldn't work hence its a filament H4 bulb and it will obviously use his low for low power which the DRL's are low currents to make the bulb light up but not to its 55w intensity... but then again with an H4 bulb you have a ground, positive low beams and hi beams... meaning the low positive could be the problem...
This is basically our H4 design with the 3 tabs on the bulb:
Ground:..........|.....|........ : High beam Positive
Low positive: ....._...
Am i making sense?
Maybe his DRLs are connected along w/the high and low positive part...
sucks

I would start at the plug and work back could be just a ground. Are they oem wattage bulbs if not you could have melted the plugs.
are the daytime running lights oem or aftermarket equipment??
