Get new bulbs, put some electical grease on the connectors for the bulbs too. If that doesnt work you have a lemon.

 

my friend had the same problem it turned out that the wires in the light sitch were toasted

 

Probably your bulb...light switch would affect both.

Clean up the connections b/f you plug in the new bulb.

 

yeah i cleaned the connector and nuttin seams to happen... we dont have a low beam but a very dim highbeam !! very odd problem .... il be changing the light switch tonight .. hopefully this will fix it !!! anymore ideals anyone ???

 

take your pefectly working driver side bulb and put in on the passenger side......is it still dim? if its not then you need a new passenger side bulb....if its still dim at least you dont have to waste your money on new bulbs bc thats not your problem.

anybody got a clue ? we need to go get a safety asap !!!!!

 

Did you try installing a new bulb?

 

Yeah ... we tryed a new bulb same problem and connector is clean and is connecting right .. we did a voltage drop and were not getting anything so the connector is 100% functional ! now were thinking of changing the switch because we got a parts car so well try that out ! hopefully that will help or else well have to rewire it from the switch

 

I think it might jus be a short to ground. Ive seen the same problem before on a cavalier as well. The ground ended up being on the opposite side as the problem though. So the faulty ground is probably on the drivers side. Elctricity always takes the path of least resistance. Does your other light seem brighter than usual?
