Reply With Quotesounds like ye old headlight switch issues
ae86 trueno headlights dieing
Car - trueno gt-apex
motor - 4ag 16v
use - daily
problem - headlights were working fine for say a year, then low beams both died, sometimes could wriggle wiring and theyd flicker on and off, now one high beam has died so i cant really drive in the night
occurs/started when - start of this year ?
my guess is just wiring ? if i got a whole hid kit wiring and bulbs etc would that solve problem ? due for an upgrade anyway

thought switch would kill lights completely ? my low beams died first for like 4 months and i was using high beams perfectly fine, now passenger side high beam has died so ive only got one light left?
As Sam-Q said its the switch. same happened to my old 86

you have checked that the headlights arent blow yea? some times the low beams can blow without the high beams blowing
Rust is a way of life
havnt checked anything too tired these days to work on the car not used to full time work, but i used to be able to wriggle the wiring near the headlights themselfs and the lowbeams would flick on and off a little

2 in the pink 1 in the stink
I know this will sound strange but try hitting the dash on the side of the switch with your pam, if it makes the lights come on it will definantly be the switch this is what happened with mine

This is because the wires are soldered directly into the circuitboard, with NO way of taking the load off the joints (so they are constantly pulling on solder + vibration = fail)
So all you're doing when you move the wire is make the dry/cracked solderjoints temporarily touch again.
Electrical things that don't make good connections generate heat which can make FIRESSSS!
