    Front right headlight out but functions when brights on...?

    For whatever reason my front headlight doesn't work when my headlights are normally on and I was going to replace it until I noticed that it works when my brights are on. I haven't done any electrical work recently (besides fixing window motors/lock actuators/installing LED's) and I can't figure out exactly why this is happening, has anyone had a similar problem?

    I got pulled over for this too btw lol

    headlight is bad... iirc the low beam has 2 filaments ... that way they work for low and also high

      have you tried to give it the ole' back hand?
      Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will promptly forget that he once did not know, and proceed to call anyone who asks, a n00b and flame them on the boards for being stupid.

          low beam is bad, or the ground is bad. Probably the lamp if the high beam works at full brightness.
