    headlight Q

    on my sealed beams, my drivers side low beam doesn't turn on until I engag the high beams. Does this mean a faulty relay or do I need to check all the connections?

    Fuses are fine.

      so the low beam has two filaments, one that works alone and one that only turns on with the high beam

        God damn man, are you even using your head and thinking?

        the outer headlights (lowbeams) have dual filiments, low beam, and high beam.

        your high beam one is fine, the low beam one is burned out, REPLACE IT.

                i may go Hella H1/H4.... or US ellips (although those wouldn't be available to me till the spring.... i'd buy em from Chapel)

                i have a feeling i'm gonna go w/ the hella H1/H4 setup so i dont have to wait, as i need to either upgrade now or pick up a new sealed beam

                  because, like Jordan said
                  God damn man, are you even using your head and thinking?
                  It is 3 clips, 5 screws and a plug. Learn to change a light bulb. My two year old has my light bezels under the dresser because he figured out how to take the damn screws out.
                  Do you need him to come change your lightbulbs?

                        that would be called a cop doing their job.

                        I don't need to be pulled over and asked some BS obvious question like"'if I knew my bulb was burnted" , and for him to ask for my liscence and insurance so he can look up my record and find another reason to give me ticket. Its BS like this that pisses me off. and yeah my headlight burnted out today so it wasn't like I was delaying the problem but what does it matter right?

                            it is not BS if you can't change a light bulb how the hell can you maintain your brakes? What if some stupid idiot that can't change a light bulb bought a car, or had his parents buy him one, then the brakes went bad and while he was on a message board trying to find out.... "does sparks from the wheels mean that the lug nuts are loose?" Then Jordan asks him "are you fucking stupid or what?" then he gets his feelings hurt and goes speeding around town , runs through an intersection because his brakes no longer work and kills your grandmother.

                            IF YOU CAN'T CHANGE A LIGHT BULB HOW CAN YOU MAINTAIN YOUR CAR?

                            the BS question is to get you to say yes I know and then you deserve a ticket for stupidity. The checking your license and registration is mandatory on any stop. You would not be stopped if you knew HOW TO CHANGE A DAMN LIGHT BULB. If you can't afford to change an $5.54 sealed beam because you can't afford it you shouldn't be wasting your money on the internet. Oh wait, that would be your dad's money because you can't plug the computer in right?

                            IT IS YOUR FAULT YOU WERE PULLED OVER!!!! If you can't keep your car maintained GLAD HE PULLED YOU, HOPE THEY PULL YOU AGAIN IF YOU CAN'T FIX THINGS. YOU GET SEARCHED DUE TO YOUR "PIG" ATTITUDE. NEXT TIME YOU GET PULLED TELL THEM YOUR NAME IS RODNEY KING AND HE IS A FUCKING PIG.
                            W

                            PS I am sure there is a two year old in the neighborhood that can change it for you.
