Hello, I have an issue with my headlights. High beams work great but the drivers side low beam does not work; so I went and got 2 new headlights, exchanged the drivers side and still no low beam. Any Suggestion on what I need to look at next? On a somewhat related matter I have a side marker out, checked the bulb and the male end where the wire connects too was broken off. Is this piece called the bulb holder? I need to know so I can order another one. Thanks.

Re: Headlight not working
First place to look is in the fusebox. Old fuses get corroded and don't make good contact. That is likely why the headlight is not working.
Every few years buy all new fuses and clean the contacts in the fusebox.
Yes, that is a bulbholder, I am not aware of it being available new, but I'm sure there are a lot of used ones around.

Re: Headlight not working
Thanks Vandor, I will put new fuses in and clean all the contacts. I found the bulb holder @ spiderroadster.com for $12.87.
