Headlight problem
Sunday, January 16, 2005 9:44 PM
Here's my problem: My passenger side headlight is brighter than my driver's side headlight. What could be the problem ? Is it my alignment of the headlights off. My silverstars bulbs are only about 1 year old I don't drive much at night so it can't really be the bulbs. Is it a fuse or a light socket. Just let me know if anybody else has had this problem and how they fixed it.

test the voltage on each connection, if they are not the same you have an electrical fault, if the voltage is the same then replace your lamps and they should be the same brightness..

where to go and what to do?
the choice is up to you!!!!

Ok heres what it normally is, Check your headlight relay. Its in the fuse panel and i take mine out to disable the DRL's and if i turn my lights on then one is brighter than the other, You probably have a loose or bad relay. <br>

but the thing is when u take ourt ur DRL relay, ur pass (right) side head light loses lhigh beams, meaning it would be dimmer, not brighter

Ok today I went out a put brand new set of silverstars bulbs in and now the driverside headlight is brighter the passenger. So could it be that I have bad fuses or the connection is bad. I tried the DRL relay didn't work.

Thanks

try swapping bulbs...get a multimeter and check the voltages at the headlight plugs..one should be hot 12v all the time, and the other 2 will be ground low and ground high when the respected mode is selected. you cant have bad fuses, either they work or they dont.. you can also check the connection under/near the battery for corrosion..i've seen that quite a few times, and i also had that problem on my 99 fire..had a wire corroded so bad it broke in 2 from the harness...good luck, and hope this helps a little.
