Alright, so for the passed while now, at random times, my passenger day time headlight stops working. When this occurs, the drivers side headlight becomes extremely bright (as bright as the high beams). While driving yesterday by the house, my mom and sister noticed that half of my rear tail lights and my passenger day times weren't working. . . I know for a fact that the light bulbs are fine, so I'm pretty sure it must be a grounding issue.

I went on the Nissan FSM and checked all the grounding points (2 by each headlights at the front, 2 by the engine, 1 on each side of the interior by the floor panels, and one in the trunk for the tail lights). All of the grounds were tight, and was in great condition (no visible rust or loose fitment). . . So my question is, are the grounds still to blame? Or is it something else?

P.S. I already checked all the fuses by the clutch pedal, and I also checked the engine bay's fuses. . . Everything is in good working order. Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Maybe you shouldn't drift with your mom and sis in the car on the streets.

What are you talking about? Can you explain to me how they were able to see that my passenger headlight let alone tail lights weren't working from inside the car? Think before you post. :rolleyes:

Back off asoomal. The guy's asking a legit question and you're harassing him over something else. If you've got a beef, take it to a PM or email.

He just edited it so he doesn't look like an idiot.

His original post was about him drifting on the track and his mom noticing the lights not working.

He's never driven on a track.

He does love to drift with his mom in the car though...on the streets.

:facepalm:

Dude, look at the FSM, remember those wiring diagrams? Follow them.

The only similarities of us knowing each other is the fact we live in the same province. Besides that, you can go fack yourself Asoomal.

I already said drop it. So I'm locking this down since it's obviously not being productive.
