Title: TJ head light
Post by: JackstandJohnny on April 11, 2009, 11:25:04 AM

so im out at my moms in Victoria (yay rain)  and i was drivin her lil' TJ around, and it has a headlight out.  however, the daytime running lights and brights work just fine.   
so how do i fix this?  do i need a new headlight for it? or is it something else electrical?  she doesn't drive it much, but trust me, she needs both headlights lol

thanks guys

I believe the Daytime running light is just a low voltage highbeam, hence the day lights and brights work. Sounds like the low beam filament has burnt out. Replacement time.
