Weird Headlight Problems

[saeltmarae2k]

Well, tonight, I was pulling out of my driveway when I turned on my headlights, both worked for just a sec, and then my right lowbeam went out. I thought I had a blown fuse, so I checked the right headlight fuse, and it was fine. I do not have factory headlights (Halos), but I checked the bulb, and it looked fine. I put the good bulb (left) in the right socket, and it did not work, so I know there is another problem. The highbeams and turn signals both function as normal. I even swapped the left/right light relays to see if that would help...to no avail. What else could be causing my right lowbeam to fail?

Thanks,

hmmm.... that happened to my halos once but it was just a blown fuse! Are any of your wires touching one another? Some of those aftermarket halos come with a cheap material coating on the wires which wear away after awhile which could be causing a ground somewhere. Sounds like you tried all the processes of elimination already.. has to be in the wiring though...

Well, I figured out that my + lead was rubbed down and was shorting on the frame...a little vinyl tape fixed it right up!
