Title: Driver's side low-beam
Post by: John W on February 05, 2008, 08:37:25 PM

My driver's side headlight is out. Low-beam only. Replaced the headlight (standard sealed beam) and replaced the #13 and #14 fuses. Still no light. What do I check next?

Thanks.

Make sure you have a good ground to that bulb.

Thank you, both, for your help. After replacing the headlight, the fuse and cleaning the grounds, I discovered I used the wrong headlight. Yep, I'm an idiot. ... ;)
