Headlight Question
My driver's side lowbeam went out. So I bought a new headlight and replaced it. Still is out.
It was getting dark so I went inside for the night. I'll start poking around at it again tomorrow (probably with a hangover).
Anything obvious that goes wrong, like a fusable link?
Thanks,
Frank

Test for power at the plug with a test light. There should be 3 wires: 1 ground, 1 high beam and 1 low beam.
If you find power, then there is a bad connection or bad light. If no power then you need to trace the wire back until you find the break or loose connecton.

Take the light that works from the other side and plug it in. You never know, you may have purchased a faulty light. Probably wires and connection prob tho. Easy enough to rule out with a light swap.
