Headlight problems
I recently installed one of these harnesses on my 99 Cherokee http://www.eautoworks.com/Putco-H4--...s-PRD7540.aspx. The stock system worked okay it was just getting pretty dim. I installed the harness and it did the trick for a couple weeks then one night as I clicked from my high beams back to low beams the drivers side went dark. The high beams still worked but only the passengers side low beam was working. I figured it was just the headlight itself so I bought another one and put it in just in time for a trip up north. It worked fine for a little while but on the way back same thing happened. I'm not really good with wiring but from what I read that harness would be fine with the stock headlights then I could upgrade to H4 setup down the road but is the new harness just sending to much juice for the stockers to handle? I will buy better headlights if that's what it takes but I want to be sure that it would fix the problem before I put more expensive units on there and burn them up. As far as I know the grounds are good, I didn't see anywhere that would have a short, and the fuses are good.

How well are the grounds grounded on the side that's giving you trouble? Did you scrape the contact area down to bare metal?
