Headlight Problem

Scothew · 12-22-2004, 05:09 PM

Ok guys, i've been running xenon bulbs in my car for 2 years now. Never had an issue. Now my passenger side headlight is braely producing light and stays the same on high or low beam. I swaped to a different (OEM replacement bulb) that I bought brand new and it does the same. I checked the connector and it doesnt seem melted, warped or in anyway distorted.

Any other idea's? Man the list of things to fix is adding up quick

Have you checked the battery or the alt? Do Cobras have a voltage regulator?

check your ground wires

Its a ground. I was under the hood last night messing with wires and it breifly came on full power. A wire has come loose in that huge bundle of wires apperently thats in front of the air filter. I gotta pull it apart and get the ground redone.

thanks everyone

Scott,

If you want to stop by sometime to work off that list, give me a call.

I might do it Craig. BUt for some reason I got a coolant leaks thats started that is going to have to be addressed soon. Its something near the radiator and not the heater core like I had origionally thought (though paul and jason did find a small one back around the heater core that may still be causing issues.) this one is defintely showing leaking signs
