So, I went in for my safety inspection today, and discovered a really weird issue with my headlights. My low beams work just fine. But when I turn on my high beams, here's what happens:
Drivers side low beam goes off and the high beam turns on
Passenger side high beam doesn't turn on, but the low beam turns to high beam.
Any ideas?

Re: High beams wonky
I had something similar when I was swapping the sealed beams for Halogen H1/H4 headlights. I blew a few fuses and with blown fuses I'd get a high beam on one side and a low beam on the other. Seemed weird but thats the way they are fused. There are two fuses for the headlights, I can't remember which ones though.

Thanks, guys. It was the fuse. Weird how they're fused...with the #2 fuse blown, one of the low beams should have been out, you'd think. Anyway, it's fixed now. Thanks for the help.

Re: High beams wonky
I stand corrected....it’s not solved. It keeps blowing the same fuse (#2). Zinnocoupe, did you ever figure out what was causing the fuse issue? I, also, did the H4 upgrade.
