Headlights Dim, Highbeams dont work

[jpeek29208]

Hey all,

Ever since my wreck my headlights haven't worked correctly. My passenger side headlight is brighter than the driver side, but neither are as bright as they should be. When I hit my high beams it switches, and the driver side is brighter while the passenger gets dimmer.

So far I've replaced the fuses and switched to Sylvania Silverstars bulbs.

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

Bad connections at the head lamp or bad grounds. More than likely your connectors got tweaked in the accident. I had the one bright, one dim headlight symptom once. It turned out to be the plastic connectors to the bulbs. Wiggle the wires and see if it blinks on brighter.

yah ive played with the wiring and wiggled it and such. I just put all new connectors on the headlights them self and it changed nothing

Take a look at this page, and the following 4 or 5 pages. Also pay particular attention to the condition of the wires themselves.
