Headlight issue

[TWLK1018]

Any help appreciated-
One headlight super bright and when I turn on high beams it goes out. Brand new headlight installed, same thing happens.

How do I do this? Is it a relay? Wiring? Ground?

Has it been like this since you bought the vehicle, or did it only start after you installed new headlights?

Just got it

Just got it

It’s been like this since I got it- so I replaced the bulb thinking that was the issue... same thing happens

IIRC, each light has it's own ground wire. The ground is on a bolt near the rear of the headlight assembly. I'd check there first.

X2. This is what I was thinking as well. Either that, or the wiring on that wonky headlight is backwards.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check in the morn!

Ok- here is the update

I pulled the wires and there are 4 going into the left side light (2 positive) and 3 going into the R side light.

I found a severed wire on the left side. It was one of the positive lines. Refastened that wire and all works perfect.

Glad that's all it was. I had a feeling it was something with the wiring.

What color was the severed wire? It may have been a fog light relay feed. I assume that you have/had factory foglights. Just double-check to make sure those are working too.
