Head/fog light electrical issue
So, this just happened tonight. Went to turn my lights on and drive home, always use the fogs with low beams, and noticed the right side was dim. Strange, but bulbs burn out, so whatever. Then I notice that if I turn my fogs off, my right low beam comes on, but not as bright as the left side.
Upon getting home and doing more testing, I notice the brights are constantly dimly lit, and when I activate the brights, only the left side works. Also, right side fog light is dim/doesn't work when brights are on.
Also noticed, that with the actual dim brights I was seeing a dimly light bright indicator on the dash.
See this video for what I'm talking about:
Is this common? Headlight switch? Multifunction switch gone bad? Relay? Not sure where to start with this one.
Thanks everyone
