I have a 95' zenki with and Sr swap. I am having an issue with my headlights, sometimes i will turn them on and the park light work fine but no headlights at all. Then after a couple days like this they will just turn on one night and stay on for like a month and do it again. When they are off the highbeam indicator in the cluster doesnt turn on either. I need to get to my night class and i dont know what to do...

could be your combination switch going bad, be sure you arent running overwatt bulbs.. they put excessive load on the electrical (wiring, contacts, connectors and switch)

the bulbs are the stock bulbs, i was thinking it was a grounding issue cause i have read from previous posts that it maybe a grounding issue. but i dont know where to find the grounding wires for the headlights.

It most likely isn't the combo switch. Im battling one headlight not turning on. High or low beams. Just swapped to a new combo and no dice. Im thinking grounding, just havnt had the time to scour the FSM and find the points.

S13's usually have issues with combo's but not 14's. Still don't completely rule it out as a poss. Just dont waste loot on a new one before you find the culprit.

Is your car slammed?

Could have rubbed through the Wire harness

I know its an S14 but my S13 did the same thing
The combo switch was dirty and Mine did the Dim High beam light thing but only one headlight worked

I just cleaned the Combo switch and never had a probem
