Hi. I'm new here, and relatively ignorant about cars. I have a 95 Pathfinder, and am having difficulty with my right headlight only working rarely. I read that it could be an issue with the switch contacts being bent too much (or not enough), so I got it out, and messed with the contacts. Hey, presto, the light worked! Only then it wouldn't turn OFF. Looked at the switch, and the little shelf under the contacts for the right headlight isn't moving when the switch is turned. While it's out, I notice the shelf for the left headlight is also not moving, and yep, now I have no headlights. I got a new switch, right headlight doesn't work. Returned switch, hoping it was the switch, but the second switch also doesn't turn on the right headlight! HELP!!

Welcome to NICO!

This thread on NPORA has a ton of headlight info and some troubleshooting steps, I'm sure it'll be helpful.
