After i got done fixing my beretta (needed new head gasket) i took my integra to get my dad a birthday present. As im driving, i noticed my passenger side head lights are alot brighter than the ones on the driver side. Then i hit the brights...the one on the passenger side works and the one on the driver side doesnt. So i get home and put a new head light in the driver side high beam. Well, I try them again and the driver side (new bulb) still doesnt work. Also the corner lights are working the same way (passenger side is WAY brighter than the driver side)

Has anyone ever had this problem before? What should i check? The voltage to the head lights? What should the voltage be? Any help would be great!

 

You're suppose to replace headlights in pairs. just FYI.

 

I actaully tried a different low beam bulb first, cuz ive heard the silverstars (which i had in originally) go dim but...i now know its a wiring problem. So yes, i have changed both high and low beam bulbs with no luck.

 

Check your fuses. Each light is on a separate fuse.

Each light should have 12 volts going to them.

 

Sounds like a bad ground on one side where the lights are dim. I'd start there.

 

Rtzx9r, YOU THE MAN. I just finished putting the car back together after painting it and i guess i didnt tighten down the ground enough. Got about 1/2 a turn on it and their working great now!

But now a different problem. The brand new passenger headlight that i got off ebay now has condensation in it. I knew i shouldnt have gotten it off their. What should i do to fix that? Do i have to reseal it?

 

Is there any reason why you are suppose to replace the headlights in pairs? I just replace the bulbs as they burn out.

 

because the newer one is gonna be slightly brighter while the old one u have in there might be a lil lighter cuz its older from overtime..

 

hmmm i have never noticed any difference in brightness.

 

I was geussing the grounds...but i would probably re seal the headlight.

 

If you always buy the same kind, it's probably not that big of a deal (one may be slightly brighter). But, if they are different brands, they may be slightly different colors and look dumb.

 

condensation... take apart and reseal. good luck

 

Brand f'ing new headlight and i need to reseal it. Dr. Auto Parts lights are good for ****.
