S15 headlamps stopped working! (Searched!) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I have a S14 w/ S15 front, bought it that way. Today the passenger side headlight and highbeam stopped working, only the small running lamp in between them works. I checked the bulbs, they're good, so I'm assuming a connector/connection is bad. but why is the one light working?? It's dark so I can't see the wiring too well, but what I can see looks OK. Is there a common place people splice in the wires? This ever happen to anyone else? Thanks for any help in advance.

my driver side s15 light stoped working sometimes, so i rechecked all the wiring an found rust on the wires (bad connectivity) so i took a steel wool to the major wires and sealed everything tight with electrical tape.

now it always works after i done this.

Check your harness for damage.Might be a ride height issue....you know to low and that harness is gone.

I am pretty low.... I'll have to check that, but hopefully it IS just a bad connection, thanks!
