you "no fixy good"....... it is most likely the same problem.... the high beams don't go thru the LOM anyway.

well it did work right after for a month or soo after i fixed ....but dont you think the computer should be telling me a bulb is out ???? soo should i get another lom or re solder???

Well it depends on what/where the problem is. You should re-check you work again... odds are the solder job isn't necessarily good as that's why tech's get the big money ... ... further there is significant power (current) travelling thru these "areas" so "marginal" circuitry will have problems. Its your call as to whether you can repair it successfully (ie. long term) or want to save your effort / time and just buy a new unit. Me, I keep fixing things as my time is "free", money I ain't got.
