Went for a test drive tonight after dark, and after replacing a wheel cylinder and bleeding brakes. When I first started I only had one light when on low beams. I jiggled the connector and headlight came on. The high beams worked fine.
Drove to gas station, about 6 miles. low and ho beams both worked, both sides. Filled up with gas, and drove home. On the drive home I had high beams, but when I dimmed them now both headlights went out. Thankfully not much traffic on the route so I only annoyed a few other drivers with constant high beams. My wife was following and I was told my taillight/brake lights/turn signals, etc. were all working fine.
Is the best first step to replace the headlight connectors? If so how big a job is that? Any special tools needed?
Thanks
