Default One headlight is out

Like I said. One headlight is out. I switched the working and nonworking and The "dead" side didn't light up the "alive" headlamp but the alive side lit up the lamp that wasn't working on the dead side.

I'm so confused. And ticked, because I can't drive at night now.

Sounds like a broken wire or dirty plug.

I just took the lights out to do the angry eyes thing. I wiggled the plug and the dead light coke on, but very very dim. And if I wiggle it some more it will turn off. Dirty plug?

Spray electrical cleaner in it and see if that works, if not then get a new plug from the JY.

Oh! Lol no they're not. I picked up new plugs at autozone since I was there. They had them. $12 for nice plugs.
