Headlight Issues

Can anyone give me an insight to my problem. My left headlamp doesn't work and it makes my highbeam light come on all the time, even though my light is on low beam. We checked the fuse its ok. We also tried the goodlight on the left side and it did the same thing. I dunno whats else to try.

first question: are you using aftermarket light bulbs?
If the answer is yes, are they higher wattage than stock?

if that answer is yes, you've begun to melt the harness. Take out those bulbs, look at the harness plug where to plug it into the bulb, it's probably got some "meltage" in there. Go back to stock wattage bulbs.

either way it's a good idea to check the harnesses, but I'm thinking that might be your problem.

same thing happened to me and many others

there are upgraded harnesses you can buy that won't do this, however they aren't cheap and I can't remember where to get them, lol
