Hey guys I searched all over for this topic (and if someone already posted about this, if someone would refer me to the thread I would appreciate that) for a bit but couldn't find any solution to my problem.

Recently I was driving at night and my right headlight stopped working.
In the morning I tried switching bulbs to the left and both lights work, so I guessed a wiring problem.

Then just tonight my left headlight went out. Anyone know what I should do? Do I have to cut into the harness to look for the problem, or is there a way I could redo the entire wiring? A diagram would be nice, thanks ; or a solution to this >.>;

The actual lights (bricks) are fine, anyone else get this problem? What should I do?

Edit :

Headlights pop up.
Turn Signal Lights work
Actual lamps don't work.

did you try checking the fuses?

I have the same problem but my fuses are good, it is a wiring problem.

For any issue on S13 headlights, you should check the combo light switch first. Most likely that sucker is defective and not sending current to the bulbs.

Are you using hi wattage hologen bulbs? If so, they tend to melt and deform the headlight plugs. You can pick some descent harnesess' off of 240s at a pick-a-part junkyard. No cutting needed, all you do is work your way to them and pop some harness ties that are plugged into the front clip. Install them in the reverse order that you take them off.
