Hi guys I drive a 1990 hatch and tonight I started my car and everything was fine both my lights work it was all great so I go see a movie and when I come back and start my car I get out to go say good bye to my friends and as I am walking back I noticed that the right light was on and the left light was off so I was just like wtf??? so I try turning on and off the lights and nothing works then I try shutting the car off still nothing the weird thing is I turn on my high beams and they both work great so I drove home with one light and my fog's I get home and pop the hood and check all my wiring it seems to be fine then I open the fuse box right next to the battery and all the fuses are fine so I turn my lights on and off and I hear a strange popping noise from the fuse box yet no fuses are blown so I am still in the same place I have no clue what is going on I am a newbie so please any help I would deeply appreciate it thank you

there is a guy parting out a hatch in the for sale forum you can ask him if hes got one......

try the bulb first. there are two different filaments for low and high beams. your high beams can still work even though your low beams don't. switch your left and right bulbs. if the light from the right one works on the left then it's your bulb.
