Why wont my 240sx headlight work?
I have a 95 nissan 240sx. The low beam headlight dont work. The only thing that happen when i try to turm them on is that the corner come on, but not the headlight. However when i turn on the high beams ,the high and low beams light work. So it cant be the bulbs. the dash, turns, corner, and tail lights work fine. Checked the fuse box in engine bay and all are fine.
When the battery is dead, would the headlights work?
Thanks for suggestions. I checked whether the headlights go dimmer when I try to start the car, but before that I turn on the radio, high beams and heater to the highest speed and at that moment everything lost some power and lights went dim. Battery was inspected a week ago, so I wonder is it really possible not to understand by inspection if it is going bad?? Could that be because of the alternator failure? Can't we understand alternator problems by inspecting the battery? If it is alternator failure, would jump starting work to start the car and drive to a service without a problem?

Why doesn't the automatic headlight work?
If your automatic headlight is not working, you can try to use a book or towel to cover the automatic sensor on the dash which looks like a round black light bulb in the center right below your rear sight mirror. Start your engine and turn on high beam, and then low beam. If you only see one of the headlights works, that means you have a burnt out headlight, replace it. If both headlights don’t work, you have a bad light sensor. Sometimes you have to shift to D or R to check the headlights, if you leave it at PARK, the headlights sometimes don’t work. Turn your light knob to different positions and then turn it back to AUTO headlights position, this knob will make better contacts for the headlights.
Why do my headlamps work on bright & not dim? on bright & not dim?
I hope this helps: "My headlights work on bright, but not on dim" but later you say "...there was no voltage from the wht/blk wire which goes to the high beam". I don't know which lights you are having problems with. By the way, the white/black wire goes to the lo-lights and the blue/black wire goes to the hi-lights. If there is no voltage to the hi-light socket wire (blue/black), there are a couple of possibilities. Relay #4 may be faulty and not transferring power to the light. The dimmer switch may be dirty or faulty. The wire harness connector from the headlight switch may not be making good contact. If there is no voltage to the lo-light socket wire (white/black), there are a couple of possibilities. Relay #8 may be faulty and not transferring power to the light. The dimmer switch may be dirty or faulty. The wire harness connector from the headlight switch may not be making good contact. Finally, Fuse #5 should be good because there is power to one set of lights (hi or lo). You can check continuity. There should be continuity between the blue-white and blue wires on the switch harness when the switch is in HI. There should be continuity between the blue/white and white wires on the switch harness when the switch is in LO. Also, if you have a Headlight Modulator that can be causing your problems."

How dangerous is it to drive with one headlight working?
I remember back in autumn 2002, a very rainy period in Romania and probably also in Denmark.Me, my brother and some friends of ours went to Romania on an outreach to the churches in the Northeastern part of the country.One night we drove, in the Ford Transit of ours, from a village and back home to the apartment where we stayed in Romania. On the road, a very narrow road in the mountains and of course no street light - the left headlight on the car suddenly just decided to quit.I wasn’t the one who drove but was laying on one of the seats in the back and in my own way had put a seatbelt around my body. Suddenly the driver hits the brakes while uttering some less nicer words and we who were in the back of the car were kind of tossed around on our seats.After the abruptly stop we had to see what was happening outside the window.What happened was a very dark horse-drawn carriage which drove extremely slow in front of our car in the middle of the road with no triangular reflex on the back.Because the left headlight on our car wasn’t working, it was raining like crazy and the visiability was low, we almost hit that carriage. A carriage with a family in it. Just some 100 meters ahead or so the road would have turned left and who knows what would have happened then.
My brake lights don't work, but my tail lights do. What should I do?
Check the brake light fuse in fuse box that could be blown, and also check to see if the brake light switch is bad, it should be located under the dash and the plunger of the switch should be touching the brake pedal arm. Also check, if they are on the same bulb, that the combination brake light, and taillight bulbs are in working order, or if separate bulbs, that the brake light bulbs are not blown out.If all of those components are in working order, and the brake lights still do not operate, then all of the wiring from the fuse box to the brake light switch, to the brake lights and to the bulb sockets will need to be checked for broken wires, and loose, or corroded connections at any of the above mentioned components.
Why do vehicle headlights that are blown still work when the brights are turned on?
Most vehicle headlights that are “blown” still work on bright because there are two different “filaments” in the bulb, one for low beam,and one for high beam.Low beam headlights bulbs contain two wires, often called filaments, that heat up when electricity is applied to them and create light. Most often the first one to go bad and “blow” is the “Low beam” because it Is the one that is used the most, unless you are one of those people who always drive with their high beams on. Even after the one filament goes bad or breaks, the other one is usually still functional.
