headlight problem on s14 kouki. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i've done some research on this but cannot find an answer. the problem is that my entire passenger side headlight assembly (corner, signal, hi, and lo) and both fog lights do not work, it worked fine before...just not anymore... any ideas guys? its not the bulb so it must be the wiring.

Check a common wiring point that all the affected lights use, for most cars it's the ground point. Use schematics in the factory service manual to find where they meet. Usually for the headlight assemblies, there are 2 ground points which are electrically connected together. other than that, I believe the other common point is the headlight combination switch. Good luck!

You check the fuses? The Right and Left sides are on different fuses.

Yep. In the FSM fuse #40 (15A) powers the entire right side headlight assembly as well as power for both right and left fog lights

Very true, I bet the corner bulb is just burned out since it's a different circuit. If not you can check the body ground behind the headlight, bolted to the core support.
