No passenger low beam

[chithook]

I have no passenger side low beam. All of the other lights work. Pulled my front bumper off and shot all the the wires. Im not gettin anything from the the harness for the low beams. The grey and black wires. I am at a loss with it. I need all lights to work cause I have a lovely New York state inspection coming up and yes this is my first DSM.

Also I have searched the forum and have found nothing duplicating the same problem I am having. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

some cars have fuses for the high and low beams. i would check fuses in both panels.

Checked fuses under the hood and in the car. All of em are good.

eh i would try new fuses just in case sometimes they look good but are really bad or check relays and the same goes for the bulbs.

if one side is working and the other is not then you DO NOT have a fuse problem. More than likely it is a bad connection or a short in the wire. I just picked up a 1G last week with the same problem but with the drivers side low beam and I just used a meter to see what wire triggered the low beam for the passenger side the just jumped it over to the drivers side, cut the old power source for the low beam and the problem was solved.

Thats exactly what I was thinking about doin. What would be the best wire to use for that?

In a lot of headlight bulbs, there are two filaments within the bulb casing. One for low beams and one for highbeams.

If one goes out, you repalce the whole bulb.

EDIT: it says right there under his avatar "97 Eclipse". /fail

I'm used to 1gs.

But 2g have 2 sets one for low and one for high so it could be its slightly cracked inside, just check with another bulb first
