R32 Gtr Headlight Problem

[jjcb]

Hi everyone

The problem is one of my low beam headlights (passenger) doesn't work. All other lights (parkers, high beam inc stalks, right headlight) all work.

However when i hit the headlight or connect the bulb while it is out of the headlight housing, it comes on sometimes.

Would it be the switch, or something else?

Thanks in advance!

Probably the plug.

Could be the switch.

Thanks for the help, I'll swap the switch over and test it as I've got a spare.

Also about the plug, would anyone know where to buy another one?

Thanks

For god knows what reason. A number of nissan imports have a left side, right side and headlight contact in the switch. a common fault with these is that the contacts overheat and melt the little pillars pushing them together. I had the same problem and all you need to do is install a relay somewhere along the line before the switch and melt a tiny amount of solder between the contacts to compensate for the length that the pillars were melted. Make sure when you are done you plug it back in and test it, if you put too much solder in the lights wont turn off at all.

100% the switch

My contacts were just dirty, no melting of the little black knobs, you do need a little pick tool to remove that damn cir-clip though.
