headlight problem
my passenger side headlight will only work on high beam.
low beam wont work at all.
Reason why im posting this is because i just ordered some H4's and need to get it figured out before i get them.
Ive done some research and most people say get a new bulb, which i have and same problem happened.
So i figured its the wiring. Found that getting a new plug could fix it, so i did and that didnt work. Decided to cut the plug out all together and get some clips and try to do it that way. didnt work.
at this point im completely confused and need help thanks

Chances are pretty good it's the light, not the wiring.

Check the plug with a test light and check for a possible blown fuse.

try a multimeter to see if the bulb is bad and to see if you getting any voltage to the assembly.

well i 100 percent believe that it is the wiring.
took it apart and switched around the clips that i made when i cut out the wiring.
now i have lowbeams, but no highbeams. So im figuring one of the wires is bad.
All of the fuses are in tact.
so yah guess thats how its gonna be
