Could be the lamp socket is bad. Try and new headlight lamp, if it still doesn't light, replace the socket.

SOURCE: 2001 subaru outback headlight not working

chapmnfarm: your head lights use a "2" fuse system.
one for the left and one for the right.
The fuse box you are looking for is under the hood on the passenger's side. It is a black box roughly 8 inches long and 4-5 inches wide. When you remove the cover, you will see fuses and relays. What you are looking for is the section in the box which has a cluster of 7 fuses. 3 in one row and 4 in the other. On the outer parameter are two relays. The fuses you are interested in are located in the row of 4 fuses, with the two closest to the "L" shaped part of the box. Both of those should be 15 amp fuses.
The fuse below those should be a 20 amp which is the lighting switch and the one below it is a 15 amp which is for the interior lights and the clock.
Check your harness grounds in the engine compartment near the area you have the problem. There are ground wires which come out of the harness on both sides of the core support. The wires are black in color and have "EYES" crimped onto the ends of the wires. Both of them will probably be located about 4-6 inches below the upper tie bar on each side of the radiator. Odds are that the eyes will be large enough to pass a 6mm bolt through.
I hope what I have given you will resolve your problem. Lem me know,,good luck>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SOURCE: my passenger side low beam headlight is out. the

Check the fuse. There are seperate fuses for right and left. You dont mention if the high beam works for that side? If it does, the fuse is good. The GREEN wire at the bulb is the ground for the low beam. If that wire has power, then the ground is bad. If the high beam works, the hi'lo beam switch is good, and there is a problem between that headlight and the Engine Compartment Junction Block

SOURCE: Low Beam Drivers Side doesn't work ... low voltage,

Power for the headlights on the Left side (High and low beam.) comes from the same fuse... The ORANGE wire and the ORANGE/BLACK are the same, they connect in the harness. If you only lack the 12v to make the light work connect them at the headlight assembly.

If your low beam also lacks ground the Left low beam ground is shared with the right low beam ground... Run a wire from left low beam DARK BLUE to right low beam DARK BLUE/WHITE.

If its not working now then your cursed, seek a witch doctor.

How do i get to the front drivers side turning light of a 2008 mkz

To access the front driver's side turning light of a 2008 Lincoln MKZ, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Open the hood of the car and locate the headlight assembly on the driver's side.
2. Look for the turn signal bulb socket, which will be located at the bottom of the headlight assembly.
3. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to release it from the headlight assembly.
4. Gently pull the bulb and socket out of the headlight assembly.
5. Pull the old bulb out of the socket and discard it.
6. Insert a new turn signal bulb into the socket, making sure it is securely seated.
7. Reinsert the bulb and socket into the headlight assembly and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.
8. Test the turn signal to ensure it is working properly.
9. Repeat these steps for the front passenger side turning light if needed.

It's important to note that the exact process may vary slightly depending on the specific model year of your MKZ, so you may want to consult your owner's manual for more detailed instructions or diagrams.

07 G6 drivers side headlight not working

There could be several reasons why the driver side headlight on your 2007 Pontiac G6 is not working. Some possible causes include a blown headlight bulb, a faulty headlight relay, or a problem with the headlight wiring. It's also possible that the issue is related to the turn signal, as you mentioned that it was staying on. I would recommend checking the headlight bulb first. If it is blown, replace it with a new one. If the bulb is fine, the issue may be with the headlight relay or wiring. You can also check the turn signal switch or the multifunction switch, which controls the turn signals and headlight. It may be possible that the switch is defective or malfunctioning. It would be best to get the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic to determine the cause of the problem and make the necessary repairs.

I have a 2008 Ford Fusion and the passenger side head lamp will not come on. The fog lights and driver side head lamp works but the passenger side will not work on bright or on dim, what could this be?

Hi. Since the headlight on the driver side is working then we dont have any problem with the fuse or relay. Check the wiring and the socket of the passenger headlight if it is intact to the bulb. If it is intact, then this could be a headlight problem. Time to replace the passenger headlight.

Passenger head light

the headlight is not a sealed unit. when you open the hood look down and you can see a connector for the light. it should have a collar that you turn counter clock wise this will allow you to remove the bulb. disconnect the the plug. the replacement bulb installs in reverse order(be careful not to touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers). hope this helps please rate this solution.......thanks
