i just noticed that when i turn my high beams on the drives side low beam goes out. what causes that and how can i fix it? also is there a way to wire the fogs so they dont go out when the highs are on?

you need a new headlight, the low beam on the stock sealed beam lights is a dual filament, one is for low only, and the other runs off of the high beam circuit

Mine did the same thing but I cannot remember what I did to fix it. I can now run the fogs with the high beams on.

I seem to recall a diy link to somewhere that required a wire jump in the fuse box. Sorry for the lack of information. I will try and research it for you.

ive searched and came up with nothing of use. might be better off to replace all 4 lights.
