first of all, one of my taillights doesnt work properly .. I guess due to wiring problems or something it is just really dim, same thing goes for the break light on the same side. While I was behind another 240sx this night, they had the same problem, then I noticed that the raod was kinda dark, then I noticed it was because my headlights where working.....

suddenly both headlights jsut stopped working and I cant find where the fuse is, does someone have a diagram for both the fuse boxes? or can someone tell me where hte fuse is for the head lights? I doubt the bulbs just popped simultaneously, and the only thing I can think of is the fuse. but I cant find the right fuse.

btw its a 89 240sx coupe

headlamp fuses should be under the hood. your tail light problem is something else. your head lights might be out due to a bad head lamp switch.

where you turn your head lights on is your switch. nissans are famous for having problems with them.

one more thing to check. . . make sure ALL your bulbs are in working order. . . sometimes it only takes one bad bulb to cause a short in the lighting system causing other bulbs to get less voltage

gotcha.. I think one of my bright light bulbs is bad.. I dont have time to do this stuff myself though.. I have 2 jobs and school, and one of the jobs is delivery for pizza, so I cant tkae the risk of me messing up and not getting it done intime to deliver and then I would get fired. So I will just take it to a mechanic in the morning and ask him to have it done by the time I start work.
