Hey mate. I think thats the way its mean to work. My headlights do the same thing. When i have it on low beams i only get the two outter lights lit. (think its the outter ones). THen when you go to high beam the outter lights turn off and the inner ones turn on. I am sure that they are not mean to both be on at the same time.

Hope that helps.

From looking at the pictures:

1. Your passenger side lo-beam bulb is blown

2. Your drivers side hi-beam bulb is blown

Secondly what jrocket says is right.

The lo-beams and hi-beams work independently of each other.

When the hi-beams are on, low beams are off.

you could just change your passenger high beam bulb with the low beam

that is if you don't mind not having high beam at all

altho it is quite troublesome if the headlights still have all the screws intact.

which means you'd have to take off the front bar 1st and then the grill

b4 you can take the headlights off

You can change the hi-beam/low-beam bulbs (also parker) without taking the headlight off.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
