2G 2G driver headlight issue

[98GST703]

Ok, I have a 1998 GS-T and when I turn the lights on the passenger one works, but the driver side low and high beams are on but very dim. I thought it was a bulb and got a new one, didn't fix it. when I turn the high beams on the passenger side works and the driver side goes off completly. I tried replacing some fuses and still didn't fix anything. Any idea to whats going on? Thanks

Pull the bulbs out and check the ground on the side of the bulbs socket (connector) is making a good connection.

Thanks I'll go ahead and look at that.

I also noticied that when I turn the switch to "on" the passenger high beam is on but very dim also. basically 3 dim lights and only one that works in the passenger low beam. I took off the bulbs and could not locate where the ground is located. Do I have to remove the headlight?

yeah most likely a wiring problem so check for shorts and make sure all wires are connecting and in condition i had to make a new switch for my high beams ### they werent working by the swtich so hopefully you dont have to do this good luck!

I would check to see where your wires run to. Maybe the person before you rigged the wires up a certain way. If you've checked the fuses then I agree with gofer check the sockets and see what they look like... If you want them to work the way you want them to work you might have to get custom, and use the wiring link you was sent. It could come to go use.

Well u have current going to the light since they turn on but not enough cause they are dim . First thing I would do is check power and ground with a volt meter to see were your voltage drop is coming from . And what ever connectors u in plug plug back in with Di electric grease

Check your headlight switch too. You may need to replace it.
