Probably, you got a defective headlight selector switch. Bring it to an auto electrician for proper troubleshooting, unless you know how to use a VOM.

It could also be corroded wire sockets in the engine bay compartment, got also a Lancer 97 with intermittent aircon malfunction and I have traced it to faulty wire sockets.

thanks ghosthunter! kung burned out ibig sabihin ba nun bibili ako ng bagong bulbs? ,

tingin ko sa switch.

[ekimski]

thanks mga sirs sa feedback! makakatulong ito ng malaki.
dadalhin ko bukas yung oto sa auto electrical shop para icheck yung switch (defective headlight selector switch) at pati na rin yung condition ng mga bulbs

sakin kaya baka relay lang or wiring? minsan from high beam ayaw mag low, kelangan i flash muna saka sisindi. relay?

napaayos ko na. yung headlight switch yung may problem. wala ng kontak yung metal part sa loob kasi may nasunog na plastic part na may spring (eto ata yung reason para maglock cya).

binaklas nung mekaniko yung switch tapos diniskartehan na lang. naayos din naman.

kinabitan na rin ng relay yung oto ko para di na raw mag-iinit yung parts nung headlight switch

thanks sa lahat

Check if the bulb is ok.

Check if the bulb has contact in the socket.

Check wiring from socket to fusebox. (there might be a break in the wire)

problem solved!

culprit: busted bulb - broken dim/low beam filament coil

added features: 80% more bright and 25 meters distance reach as indicated in the box, replaced both to know its good features and life span
cost: 1,600 including installation (can DIY but free)
store: c3 sny research thru OL but bought at the store
