Default tail ligts and headlights need electrical fixing

well as some of ya know i got my car going again after like 3 months of sitting at my auto shop

everything is back together and in check

my problems now are my headlights and taillights

taillights--- night brake and foot brake work , my L/R signal bulbs don't turn on but they are not blown still in good condition

my headlights-- everything was working great , but when i was working on my driver side low beam light adjustment, the light suddenly turned really low dimmed ( the passenger side was still fine), now when i turn on my high beams the driver side is also dimmed and the passenger side is still just fine.

i checked all the grounds and cable connectors for front and back lights, they are all fine too.


i need this fixed !!!

it is always best to change all bulbs when working on the lights,,, 2nd check fuses,, and maybe there is a pinch in the wires replace all light connectors that is the best way to start .

Do a voltage drop test and find the problem.

Brake lights work, tail lights do not, this is usually a tail lamp fuse blown, you may have a wire problem or a connector issue, dont forget that all of the tail lights may be blown out too.
