Help me diagnose this headlight problem.

[Torqstr]

When I put my lights on (lo-beam) I get both lo-beams and both hi-beam bulbs lighting up, the hi-beam are really, really dim. The driver side lights (both lo and hi) are much, much dimmer than the passenger side. Then when I hit my hi-beams the driver side completely goes out, but the passenger side works fine.

Where should I even start??

Start by checking your fuses (under the hood).

[Torqstr]

lol, well I know that. those are already checked and good.

[sublime]

ever just tried replacing the bulbs?

or this might give you an excuse to go hid.

check your lighting relay under your hood

check relay, then the headlight switch itself, then trace the wiring and look for shorts.

[91accordwagon]

Yeah you've got a short, start tracing wires. No simple answers for that one, could be in the switch itself. peace

fuses had been visually checked, but after testing with a multimeter it ended up being the fuse for that headlight.

[LinX]

your fuse it out.

[Torqstr]

goes to show you, always check with a multimeter. just because it looks like it's not blown, doesn't mean it really isn't.

this just goes to show some people dont realy know whats happenin first hand. but then again i coulb be wrong. im just talkkin from my personal exp.

say man i had the same problem when i had an electrical problem after a deck instal. the horn. ac . interior lights/ and cig lite wen out. i went to check all the fuses and wires and couldnt figure it out. then i turned it on to c if it would still work and i got both lights on with realy dim hi beams. when i took it to the technicina (electrial tech) he showed me that i put the fuse in the wrong slot. lol. whoooooooooooooooooops E
