No Dim light???

[kwiksilber]

Mga sir,
Ask lang po ako kung ano po kya possible problem sa headlight ko...ala xa dim light pero ok naman po "bright"...ano po kaya possible problem?...how would i know kung yung relay yung cra or kung yung fuse inside the car? my ride is an '94 altima.... TIA

[caloyski5]

hindi kaya bulbs?

sir, nde po pundido un lights eh...gumagana pa rin un bright nya..

di naman usually sabay nasisira ang bulbs so might be a fuse dun sa wiring harness mo since you mentioned "relay".

Magkahiwalay ang filament ng bright at dim.

So pwede ngang bulb ang sira pero yung filament lang ng low beam. Pwede mo naman i-check physically by taking out the bulb and looking at the filaments or installing the bulbs in another car.

I have tons of headlamp bulbs here with burned out low beams but working high beams.

I guess it's expected na mas mauuna masira ang low beams since it's the one that gets used the most.

pull out the bulbs from the socket, have it tested (electric 12V charger will do). just to make sure the bulbs are fully functional at low & high beams.

Now if the bulbs are in good condition, you might want to check the fuses related to your headlight system. Yun sa Vios ng sister ko, yun daw ang sakit, napuputukan ng fuse once in awhile pero buo ang bulbs. Eventually, she'll have to have her headlght relays replaced according to the mechanic...

sir magkaseparate po yung filament ng bright saka dim pero nasa isang bulb lang sila.. try mo check yung bulb

[NazQ]

^^ yup, parang pag double contact bulbs (tail lights), dalawa din yung filament.

When you say "dim," are you referring to the low beam or clearance lights?

I don't know about the Altima, pero in my 97 Accord, separate bulbs ang LOW beam, HIGH beam at clearance. Bale 3 bulbs sya dun sa headlight housing. Ganun din ata sa Sentra ko (basta I know ibang bulb yung clearance light nya, kasi napalitan ko na yun)

[OTEP]

Pwede din nga yung switch, nangyari samin dati, nagkaron ng free play yung stalk between bright and dim kaya walang ilaw kapag nasa gitna siya. Kelangan mo alugin yung high beam stalk.

But, always start from the simplest component first (the bulb).

Sir Galactus,
H4 po ang Altima. Magkasama ang high at low sa isanb bulb.
