Headlight low beams going out sporadically...

[krott5333]

My high beams always seem to work, but sometimes my low beams dont. It cant be the bulbs, sometimes theyre on, sometimes theyre off, checked the fuses.

Whats wrong? :wtf:

Its probably the headlight switch. Those always seem to go bad on 3g's. Here's a link to another thread that has more info- http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15991

I bet your wiring harness in the headlight bucket is going bad itself. What happens is, the wire flexes near the wire tie in the movable part of the headlight bucket and it causes the wires to eventually fray and break. Id check that

It can be the bulbs. The bulbs have dual filaments so it is very possible that the low beam burned out and you still have the high beam.

Do check the harness to the bulb like mentioned before. THe harness has very little slack and sometimes pulls the wires out.

It can't be the bulbs, cuz they go on and off every now and then, and both the left and right lights turn on and off together.

If both low beams are shutting off, then I agree with Coitis1, combination switch.

when they dont come on, try turning the headlight switch slowly. Sometimes mine do that too, and if I turn the switch a little they usually come on. I think that my switch is going bad.
