I cant get my passenger headlight to light up, the bulbs are good and the ballast are good. Im at work right now and cant check anything at the moment but i thought that maybe someone else has had this problem and can give me someone to start looking?

Thanks in advance!

Fuse ?

Since you said ballast I assume you're running HIDs.

Have you tried flipping the headlight connector where it plugs into the ballast? Our trucks are opposite when it comes to headlight power polarity.

Any previous issues w/this light...is it an aftermarket upgrade...new/old problem...I could go on.

More information would help aid your quandary...thks!

ok before i put in the HID kit i noticed that the passenger headlight would always decide when it wanted to work, i would start it and it wouldnt work, let it sit for a little while and next time i start it it works fine. i checked multiple fuses and they all looked good. as far as flipping it i will have to try that after work.

Check the connections also when flipping ballasts..make sure they aren't corroded or caked with dirt etc

Thks...seems like a wiring/feed issue. Trace the harness/wiring backward and check continuity, damage, etc. Got to be something quirky going on w/your connection(s). Electrical gremlins suck, but persistence pays off.

open the hood and follow the wires there is only about 3.5 feet of wiring from the light to the under hood fuse box. there literally is 2 connections. one at the light and the other goes in the box. if its not the head light plug, then you will have a bit more time to unscrew the fuse box flip it over, undue the headlight harness check the plug, and either replace or reinstall.

im going off memory, so if i miss something dont shoot me

how'd it turn out?

 

[djdrek]

i took the fuse block apart and inspected everything, it all looked good so i ran all the wires and all the wires looked good as well. im picking up a multimeter tmorrow after work so im going to check every possible place i can.
