Weird problem with my 97 ek hatch OEM headlights

when I turn the stock to put my lights on one comes on

when I put my brights on , one goes on and one goes off

the video explains better. Any reason why??

 

bump

 

Is this something that recently began? Or has it been like this as long as you've had the car?

 

just begun

just checked the wiring no breaks or issues , checked all my under dash + under hood fuzes no issues

maybe it’s the bulbs? They small like a burning smell : get super hot.

turn signals work good , hazards , and rear lights all work.

 

Sounds like you have a ground off on on of your bulbs and the circuit is backfeeding. All four fuses are good? Inspect the grounds near the headlights. They are on the frame rails behind the lights.

 

thank you for this!

all my grounds are good , 21 & 22 fuze 10 amp under dash are good!

30 amp under hood is good , what is the 4th fuze?

and all the wires are good that connect to the headlights are good. Not saying you’re wrong , you would know more than me , just want to go a little deeper into what you’re thinking. I’m not great at reading wiring diagrams , just confused how it worked roughly 2 weeks ago with aftermarket headlights now with OEM they aren’t. No broken wires , no bad connections , cuz when I switch bulbs around 1 goes bad and the other doesn’t so I don’t think it’s the bulb issue.

 

Anyone else?
