ok my normal headlight on driver side doesnt work, when i turn it on its dim, and tosses highbeams dium too on driver side, and on passenger side the headlight is normal and it also has highbeam dim too likes its compensating for the driver side, i just got off 10hr shift and barely coherent, i must be missing somthing here... any ideas?

 

bump 15+ views no ideas? connections good, new bulbs then main ground on fender that ground most of the front lights is good what could this be?

ps its like 10 degrees outside and raining

 

ttt

 

check resistance between the two with a multimeter.

 

0.3 - 0.4 ohms on the bulbs

ok had 8+ hrs of sleep, im awake and coherent now :D i cant find anything wrong, whats the ohm spec supposed to sit at, .3-.4 in spec? anyways the bulbs are new got continuity, good grounds good connections, good voltage, im lost here....id think id be resistance, its obviously getting power, just dim maybe too much resistance? whats the resistance supposed to sit at? thanks peeps!

 

foudn the problem traced back through the wiring and found one of the wires was almost fired from heat issues, like if you where to use too small of a wire, anyways that part of the wire is replaced and now it works fine, thanks for help though

 

just out of curiosity do you have jdm headlights? ive had this issued with my driver side headlight before. if you do have jdm headlights how did you wire them that could be what caused the problem.

 

i do have jdm headlights, but it had nothing to do with my wiring, this was in the harness from on the USDM car, just a burnt wire but its cool now.

 

So you had a burnt wire, and you replaced it. is it working fine now?

If its not, mabey your light switch is bad.

It can only be some many possibilties, starting from the switch and going to the headlight itslef

 

read up 3 posts :D its good and working perfect :D thanks everyone for their imput

 

Glad you fixed it, how'd you locate the burnt wire? Just by chance?

 

just followed his nose!

I wonder if JDM headlights draw more ampherage than usdm. Or do these wires burn up in true jdm cars too?

Amperage depends solely on bulb wattage

 

i just traced back from the bulb..had run these lights on stock harness w/ same h4 bulbs never had this happen, weird anyways thanks for anything, and if your interested heres my ongoing project on scp.com http://socalprelude.com/viewtopic.php?t=30307
