When I bought my '93 3kgt, headlights worked fine. At some point the left LOW stopped working, the high still worked. Figured it was the bulb. Then I changed all the bulbs to ultrabrights (with H4 conversion), but the left low still didn't light up. Compared the voltages on the left and right connectors with lights on, turned out one lead on the left connector had 0V instead of 12v. Thought maybe it was the relay, but the relay is SPST, so I don't see how it could turn on the right headlight, but not the left one. Then yesterday I noticed that both lights are on, but both are really dim. Any ideas?

thanks!

sounds like you might have a short somewhere in the wires going to your left light....

so somewhere between the fuse/relay box under the hood to the light. yeah that's probably right. damn. I hate electrical problems like that.

ok, turned out the connector that used to plug into the back of the sealed bulb was dirty as hell, filled with some sort of wax. Replacing the connector fixed things right up.
