Headlight Question
Gentlemen and Ladies,
If my low beam works but the high beam doesn't, should I look at my switch wiring first or the bulb?
Thanks in advance...

RE: Headlight Question
Cange your bulb and see what happens. I once had a headlight do that and then low beam went out completely on the freeway at night. Not fun.

chicken or the egg.
When you have a problem, check first things first.
Bulb don't work, check it first.
Don't touch the bulb with your fingers.
Test light to the receptacle to check for energy at high and low.

I swear I have a rolling Craftsman tool chest full of tools I've used for the very first time. Looks like I'll need to add a voltmeter to that collection.
