Why do my headlights come on on low beam?
I’m having issues with my headlights where (on low beam) only the front drivers side comes on and the passenger park light comes on. When I turn on the highbeams all turn on. I was thinking the relay might be burnt out, but when I “fiddle” with the connection to the lights on the passenger side, it comes on again. Thoughts?
What to do if your headlight goes out?
If it’s a connector you’re ‘fiddling’ with just pull it apart, clean up the contacts and apply some some dielectric grease or something like Corrosion Block and re connect. If it’s just a bunch of wires you’re moving with no connectors then you could have a wire broken internally inside the insulation.
Why is my headlight not working on my new Land Cruiser?
If it’s just a bunch of wires you’re moving with no connectors then you could have a wire broken internally inside the insulation. Probably connector needs cleaning but might be a faulty bulb. It’s possible for the filament inside the bulb to split so the bulb works when tapped, then fails when tapped. Hey 80 series friends.

What should I do if my headlight is not working?
Unplug the light, pull the switch, and see if the fuse blows. If not, the problem is not in the wiring. Make sure you have purchased the correct wattage of bulb. Ensure that you do not have a faulty or damaged bulb. Check and see if your high beam bulb is the issue. If so, replace it. Check all wired connections and look for any exposed wiring.
Can a blown headlight affect the other side of the car?
No. Your headlights should be powered independently from one another and blowing out one should not have any affect on the headlight on the other side of your car. If both of your headlights are out, they may have both blown out, or there may be an electrical issue with the vehicle. A blown headlight fuse is also a likely culprit.
What should I do if my headlight flickers?
Try and establish a more sturdy connection when a wire is singled out. In a worst-case scenario the entire headlight wiring assembly may need replaced by a professional. Also, as with other troubleshooting issues, if you are using a bulb with too high of a wattage, this can make your headlights flicker as well.

What should I do if my low beam light is not working?
If it is just a single faulty bulb, try replacing it temporarily with the bulb from the opposite headlamp. If it works, the bulb simply needs replaced. The most common reason for faulty low-beam lights is a blown fuse. Check your car’s owner’s manual for information on how to access the fuses and where they are located.

Why is my headlight not working on my Dodge Ram?
First, let me explain what I’m talking about and allow me to vent for just a moment… After replacing the driver’s side headlight bulb twice on our 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT 4WD Cummins Diesel pickup, the low beam still wasn’t working.
Do you need to replace both high and low beams?
Some vehicles use a single bulb for both high and low beams while others do not. If the high beam on the same side is also out, it may be one bulb. You do not need to purchase specific bulbs for each side, but identifying which is the blown out bulb will help you to replace it without having to start the vehicle again.
