emeraldlion Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 This just made quick work of fixing my low beam issue. I hope the admins see this and make palce it in the FAQ electrical section.

Kash Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'm having a little different problem, the high beam on the right side (only) of the car comes on when I turn the parking lights on. I replaced the switch but that did not help and it switches to low beam when I trun the switch to the head light position...any ideas ('78 2880z)?

emeraldlion Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 If you don't have a multimeter I would buy a cheap one at harbor freight or walmart for 10-15 bucks. Check for voltage at the fuses, then at the connector. My first bet would be that you have corroded connections at the pigtails. You can remove the rubber plug from the back of the plastic connector and remove the push on connectors, try to clean them with some sandpaper or steel wool, then make sure they are not loose and try again.
