    Default Lowbeam on one side not working

    Hi guys,
    just noticed this, done a search but havent found way to fix this issue. Noticed that right hand low beam isnt working. Globe isnt blown, when i flick to highbeam lights up fine.

    Was working while driving but when i pulled up to stop noticed it was out. Only on one side do i have this problem, Any Advice??

    Try a multimeter to see if the low beam circuit is getting any voltage..
    If all else fails.. solder in a trace wire from the oother low beam circuit on the other head light

    Are you sure its not the globe.. the low beams are in the same circuit.. so if one side isnt working its usually a blown globe.. very rare it would be the wiring.. unless you are running high wattage globes and melted the plug housings

    well reason for believing it isnt the globe is due to when i put the lights on highbeam it worked
