I've got a 92 240sx hatch and am having a very strange issue with my lights. On low-beam only the drivers side light works, but when i switch on the highs, both lamps come on. I am at a loss, i've replaced the bulbs, i'm getting voltage to the plugs, i've cleaned the connections in the switch and have swapped around my retractor relays 1 and 2. Anybody have any ideas or advice, I know of a way to rig it, but I really want to avoid that route. Thanks a lot.

why'd you start another thread when you already posted in another guy's thread with the same exact problem?

anyways, I can almost guarantee its the headlight switch, and I don't think cleaning the connectors will do the job.

If you don't believe me, try swapping your headlight switch with another person's working headlight switch.

Its a very very common problem.
