Hi guys
Just got a new car, Driving it home the front left headlights went bust, but seem to work on high beam but not low beam.
So heres my situation now.
Lamps aren't blown, because highbeam works,
Lowbeam only works on the right headlight but not the left, i did a search but couldn't find anything, google suggested that it could be a low beam relay problem??
Anyone got a solution?
Thanks

I found out that all that was needed to fix this problem was jiggling the connector towards the headlights.

ek's use H4 headlight globes

these globes have two filaments inside them. one operates for low beam, the other operates with highbeams.

however, if the lowbeam turns on by "jiggling the connector", it may be a good idea to grab a new connector and replace the old one. Don't worry, its easily DIY'able

Check the manual that came with the car. There are illustrations that show you exactly how to replace the parkers. Your manual is your friend.
