im having trouble with my pssenger side headlight on my J30.The issue is as follows:when I turn on the headlights my drivers side high & low always work fine, but my passenger side works for a couple of minutes then goes out a couple of minutes later it comes back on and this continues to happen over and over...Whent the pass side goes out both high and low are out..when the come back on both work. which leads me to believe its deffinatley not a bulb issue because high and low are individual bulbs.Ive cheked and swapped the fuses under the hood, still no luck. Could this be a relay issue? and if so where would it be located? any help is appreciated. thanks

Don't exceed the bulb wattage (55w is the max) or you'll melt the wiring.

My relay went bad about a year or so ago. From what I remember it took about 30min to get the new one installed and has worked well. I would recommend buying a new one from Nissan because they are only about $40.
