Default Highbeams on one side not working, H4H bulbs, help me diagnose.

Situation: Pass highbeam does not light up when I flip on the brights. Highbeam indicator light on the gauge cluster does not work either.
Past: The stock H4H's both would light up on bright and low
Present: The new pair of bulbs (Polarg b1 hybrids) on low both light up, on high, drivers side only lit.


As long as a relay is cheap, I assume I should just go buy another one and see if that fixes it. I'm going to go back out there and fiddle with it and make sure it's plugged in tight. I already made the picture, so I figgured to keep t
the thread alive.

I assume the gauge cluster light will not light up as to inform me that some circuit isn't being completed?

Ok. I went back outside to see what is goin on. In my engine bay:

I know this is the drivers side, and isn't the side giving me the problems, but is the item circled in jdm ***** pink the dimmer relay?

Or is the dimmer relay the rubber encased four prong one that is only on one side?
Here you can faintly make out what I am talking about.


So the yellowish plastic ones are on both sides (hint hint andy) and the rubber encased part is only on the pass side. Hmm, just seein if anyone knows.

Alone I suppose. Oh well I'll just have to dig around on my own, it no matter.

One of your bulbs is probably blown
stick in a regular h4 as it is same pattern and see if the high beam works
if it does then you know it is your bulb

Assuming the h4 is a dual filament bulb and will fit the 3 prong h4h base, then i will try that. but for now i will assume my brand new bulbs from autosonic aren't blown

Check fuses always first! Haha, I am such a tard. I wasted $70 on Polarg's when my stock lights weren't blown. Hey, these are bright as junk though, so it wasn't a waste.
