High beam peculiarity


Recommended Posts

Ok, so when I turn on my high beams, my driver side low turns off. Not a problem with seeing, but stupid little things like that drive me nuts. I looked at the wiring diagrams, but am mostly confused. So what I am asking is, anyone have a likely cause for this problem? Thanks in advance, as always, your help is appreciated:clap: .

If, it is a quad light system, your DS high beam is burned out, or there is a wiring/connection issue. As Skip said, swap bulb side-side to see if it follows bulb or stays with that side. A volt meter would be a nice thing to have really. One could check for proper voltage at connection and for continuity of the lamp filaments.

It is indeed a quad headlight car. I went out to try to remove it, and just stripped the screw, so I will wait 'til I can get into the shop and use the impact screwdriver. But I did notice that there is condensation in the driver side low beam, could that indicate anything? Thanks again!

I may be making stuff up here, but if it's like the quad system on my mitsubishi truck, you don't have low-beam only lights. You have two headlights that are hi/lo beam, and two that are high beam only. So, it's actually the hi beam portion of your lo/hi headlight that's burned out. This baffled me for a while when it went out on my truck till I figured out it wasn't a low-beam only light.
