My Headlights Aren't Working

[RColbert]

:winky: My headlights currently look like winky because they are simply not working correctly. The bright lights come on now when the regular lights are on, and the passenger side headlight is dim and doesn't come on at all unless the hood is up. Please help as I'm going to get a ticket pretty soon. Incidently, I've replaced both headlights.

check all the earthing points

sounds like a loose terminal

must agree with dobedo the symptoms you describe seems to indicate a bad earth somewhere in the lighting circuit ,meaning the lights are getting a poor earth through/ from somewhere else hence the hood syndrome,

may only be a lose connection to the body work due to viabration .

any way check this out first before spending money on relays etc .

a volt/resistance meter may be a help .

Well, even with my checking this out, I can't seem to determine what's going on, so it looks like it's gonna cost me. Thanks for your help folks.

I just wanted to thank you all for all of your help. I've found out that my headlight fuse was blown for the right side of the car. Although, I'm not sure what's causing it to blow. Any ideas family?
