« on: May 11, 2009, 12:13:40 AM »
ok my passengers side headlight has been dim for like 2 years now..
i have replaced the headlight itself, bulbs, tried HID bulbs, switch on steering column and the ground itself off the headlight..  i'm out of ideas.

possible fuse under the hood? doubt it..    new wiring harness?  hope not..  relay? fuck if i know..

any ideas?

Tranny to body ground is only for the starter, not the headlights.
