i can't figure out whats wrong with my headlights and i need help. my parking lights work...and when i turn on my low beams only the driver's side works. now, when i turn on my high beams the driver side light completely goes out and only the passenger side works. the passenger side lowbeam will occasionally come on but will soon go out while i'm driving. i checked the fuses and they're ok, and i also bought another turn signal switch and it still does the same thing. what the hell is wrong with my car?

 

Have you checked the headlight connectors, and replaced the bulbs?

 

everything is connected, i can try puttin my my oem bulbs back in. would the bulbs really make a difference?>

 

The bulbs are a possibility, and they're the easiest to check. If they turn out to be fine, I would check the connectors for loose connections or corrosion.

 

its your bulbs. two seperate outputs-hi/lo. your pass side low works, drivers low does not. your pass side high does not and your drivers side high works.is this right? the bulbs have a seperate filament for high and low beam.i reread your post- your pass side plug is fucked-you probably partially melted it with shitty aftermarket bulbs. you need a new drivers side bulb. this is my best guess.

 

bulbs ? has the car been ghetto rigged on wiring before......for foglights....

 

Replace the bulbs and check the connectors at the back of the headlight for the turning on and off while you are driving problem.

 

check fuses!

each out has its own fuse i think they are all 10 or 15 amp

then check the bulb, if one of the filaments are burnt then the bulb is dead

go to wal-mart and buy some xtra visions - a pair is like 20bucks OR just get some regular oem replacements.

if that doesn't work, go sears/radio shack and buy a decent digital multimeter $20+ at least.

time to test wires.

see if the wires at the bulb end are getting voltage, when the headlights have been switched on. and also check the highbeam wire

if the harness at the bulb end isn't getting any voltage then you have a serious problem.
