    Hello,

    recently my headlight went out so I ordered new bulbs on Amazon. Today I went to go install it only to find out that the new bulb isn’t working. (Passenger Low)

    So next thing is I checked the fuse and it’s not the fuse, I took the driver side one out and put it where the passenger side fuse goes and nothing.

    This is where my knowledge ends. I did some searching on google and I understand there is a relay but this is only on the low beam on one side both high beams work. Could it still be the relay? What would be the next step I could take to trouble shoot this on my own?

    I really appreciate your help.

    Did you try swapping the bulbs, put the known working bulb in and try that?

    Actually, no I didn’t. I assumed that since they were brand new and coincidentally the same side was affected so I didn’t think to do that even. I’ll go do it

    You know what’s crazy. Pulled it out and plugged it back in and it works… I’ll be darned. Lucky day thank you

    Your welcome, simple things first. Prolly has some corrosion in the plug. Clean it out, put some die electric on the terminals And should be good to go
