Hey i saw a post on this issue before i had it but now i cant find it so im gonna ask for help. My driver side headlight wont go on. I got new headlights and it still wont so I know its not the headlight or bulb its gotta be something else. It turns on when im walking up to my car and i unlock it, just when im in my car driving it wont go on. The other side works perfect. I cant figure out whats causing it

 

Do your high beams work? Pretty sure when you hit the unlock button its your high beams.
So maybe somethings wrong with your low beam? I.e, bulb.. wiring harness.. fuse ?

 

it is the high beams that go on.. i say a cobalt a few days ago with hids and a blinking driverside light... do you have hids? cuz that my be your issue...

 

No HID's. And yeah now that i think of it those are the high beams. Both high beams work. The driver side low beam doesnt. All fuses are fine i just checked. And the light doesnt even blink, its not on at all.

 

Bulb blew? Wire short? Check all your connections carefully, you'll find the problem.

 

how old is your car? you probably need a new bulb

 

I got new bulbs and its still out on the driver side. Gahhh im not good with wires so what do i look for when im checking them?

 

Do we have fuses for either side, or do they control both sides? I know some cars have a fuse for each side, hi/low. But I'm not around my car to check.

 

it is a fuse
there is a fuse for right high, left high, right low, and left low

 

^^^ this... i forgot about this... the fuse layout is under the fuse box cover!

 

checked fuses already! the fuse is perfect.

 

Make sure they aren't cut in half, damaged in any way or just sitting there connected to nothing lol.
If you have new bulbs, it must be a fuse.
Put the side that doesn't work in the side that does.

If it works its either a bad fuse or somethings wrong with your wiring.
If it doesn't work, then its the bulb.

 

well i had my old headlights and the light was out. so i got new bulbs and it still was. so i got new projectors and its still out. so i changed the fuses and the bulbs again and its still out, so idk lol.

 

Buy a new car? Lol.
If you've changed bulbs and fuses then you have to have a wire loose somewhere.

 

its gotta be a wire. but if im not mistaken the same wire powers high and low beam.

 

check the relay switch for the lights. run them from the inside switch to the lights and check everything...

 

There has to be a seperate wire for high and low. Those bulbs have three pins on them for three seperate wires. If its not a fuse, and a brand new bulb like others have said already it has to be a wiring issue. How does the pigtail look? Not heavily corroded or anything?
