92 headlight problem

[big daddy2]

I have a 1992 nissan pathfinder w/ halogen bulbs (not sealed beam) headlights. I'm not sure when it happened, but when I have low beams on, the left side only comes on. When on high beam, only the right side comes on. In addition, my gas guage seems to come on and off when my lights are on.

I tried replacing the bulbs and still cannot get my lights to work.

Has anyone out there had or heard of this problem? I need to get my inspection done, and cant because I cannot get both lights to come on at the same time.

I have a 93 PF and had a similar problem. When I rurned the highs on the left light went completely out and the right one went to high beam. I tried changing the bulbs and sockets. I finally had to run wires from one head light to the other one to get them to work for inspection. You will find that the problem is actually in the light switch, the one on the steering column. I figured that, my lights are working now so I'll leave the switch alone. Its been jerry rigged for 2 years now, works fine.
