Start by checking the ground connection. All the headlights share a common
ground terminal at the cluster above the fuse box. It is common for
corroision and heat to get the better of this. Better yet, at the lights
connect another ground point from the body to the brown wire. The shorter
path will help the lights even if the original ground point is OK. Next step
is the fuses. There are actually 4 fuses for the headlights, high and low
beam, each side.

Subject: Odd headlights - some on some off

Hi all.

Anyone dealt with this recently?
 '89 headlights.
left ones work ( hi & lo beam) right ones don't work ( hi & lo beam) when
the switch is on.
left one don't work ( hi & lo beam) right ones work ( hi & lo beam) when I
put on the brights.

So all the bulbs work.... but not in the right way...
If you've dealt with this recently you might be able to save me some hard
thinking with the wiring diagram!

thanks all....
