LS Headlight Low Beam Problem
Hey guys, Recently (within a few days), my passenger side headlight low beam has acted up. It does not light up my HIDs, and I even tried to swap it with a halogen bulb and that doesn't work. I checked the fuses and they are fine? The turn signal marker, parking light, and high beams work, so I am guessing that it is only the low beam.
For some reason the pins or connectors or w.e they are called that connect the bulb to the headlight does not fit in snug. It may be that but I am not too sure, I am hoping for any advice in how to diagnose this issue. But the HIDS have always worked even with this being loose. It's just a few days ago... the low beam died
I have an aftermarket Eagle Eyes Projector Headlight.
Thanks

If you have installed an aftermarket HID system, there may be a cable issue on the connector, they usually get too hot and start failing. I recommend you to peel of the cables you see getting black or toasted clean them and connect it again. Or just swapping the connector for a new one you can buy at the dealer.
