Sonicfrog Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Murphy, the 87 Turbo Wag, is blind!!! They both went out yesterday. High beams still work. Does one fuse control low beams, or are the fuses divided by left and right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Murphy, the 87 Turbo Wag, is blind!!! They both went out yesterday. High beams still work. Does one fuse control low beams, or are the fuses divided by left and right. IIRC there is a fuse for each side. So maybe by chance both low beam elements went out. I'm also assuming that it has EA82 GL style headlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank B Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The relays and fuses are for each side, so if the fuse blew, one side would be out. Bet it's just the bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicfrog Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 I figured it was the bulbs. I was loading up the car for band practice, and was set to go, and noticed only my parking lights were on. Funny, I thought, I don't remember turning down to the parking lights (I usually drive with the lights on). It was too dark to diagnose, so I decided to wait till morning.

bratman18 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Sucks that both went out at the same time, but at least they are cheap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecarman Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 VERY funny - my roomate in college had both headlight bulbs blow at the same time on an 87 GL-10. Is yours a white 5-speed 4WD wagon? I had never seen this happen before - both at same time, so we assumed it couldn't be just bulbs, so didn't even check. He took it to a shop and was not happy he had to pay just to have the bulbs replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Could be a fusible link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I Suggest to Check Carefully if the Dashboard Lights Went Dim too... in That case, it could be a Bad Relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
