    I figured it was the bulb, so I replaced it. Wrong. Still no low beam. High beam is fine. And the left headlight, low beam and high beam are fine. Any suggestions on this one? Thanks!

    Well, I would say get a test light and see if you have 12 volts at the wires.
    If you don't, there could be a possibility of a wire that has an open circuit due to the up and down motion of the headlight unit.

    Good Luck

    Check your fuse box. Make sure that it is not only the fuse but that power is going in and coming out of the box.

    Hi,

    I recently had the same problem. It turned out to be the connecter block just behind the headlight, where 3 wires go from the headlight into the car's wiring loom. Anyway, one of the connecters had come loose, simple as that!!

    Same as Mark. My right headlight would come on then brownout. I wanted to see if it was the bulb so I switched bulbs and viola, both worked. Go figure.
