Electric problem
Ok so I got my lights working on my 1978 stepside. I changed my dimmer switch like I was adviced and I also put new head lights and everything was ok. But, I still got a problem. When I put the high beams on the right side don't work so I kept trying later that day and my right side worked but not my left this time and now their also both dimmed when before they worked fine. What's going on? I'm lost. Could it be the plug where the dimmer switch plugs too?. Maybe light switch or my battery? Please help!!

Re: Electric problem
They actually look like they could need a cleaning or should I just replace them? Well I'll clean them first then go from there. Thanx

Re: Electric problem
I'm pretty sure you can get the headlight pigtails at a parts store. Probably cheaper and you don't have to wait for shipping.

Re: Electric problem
Good response. Check grounds. If one light ground is bad I think the other one could ground it. The sockets can go bad.
