Hello everybody! I'm having a slight problem with my passenger side head lamp. A few days ago the Message Center told me to check head lamps. I did and both were burnt out. Replaced both bulbs and now the left side is working fine, but the right bulb will only turn on if I have my brights on.

I'm assuming it's some sort of wiring issue? Seems really odd that the left side would work and even the right side on bright, but no normal brightness on the right.

So...any ideas?

Go to the Performance Lighting section and check the Lighting FAQs sticky post at top of the page. Look in there for LOM (lamp out module ).
Sounds like your problem.
 






Could have gotten a bad bulb. I had it happen to me about a year ago.
 






Try putting a little bulb grease on the connections... I'm assuming 2nd gens use one bulb for brights and normal... 3rd gens have 2 sep bulbs.
 






Thanks for the help. Replaced the LOM and light is working again, along with the fog lights.

Guy at the dealership said he had never sold one.
 






That's because people usually just fix them.
