Lights a little dim (1 Viewer)

[baby_troupe]

Driving home tonight in my cruiser, I had my driving lights on with high beam & had to dip them for an on coming car.
When I turned them back to high beam, I noticed it was not working properly.
Looks like the drivers headlight is not operating properly & is a little yellow to look at, even on low beam.
Passenger side light is fine.
Driving lights operate their circuit from the drivers side headlight feeding the switch, which then operates a relay for a seperate circuite for the driving lights. There is no power getting to the driving light circuit.

Now I have not had a look under the hood yet, but I am open to suggestions on where to start. (multimeter etc etc)

I vote for a new headlight bulb (globe)

As it turned out, it blew the fuze.
I went back out the next night to use it & both lights were not working, so I decided to check the fuzes & found that both fuzes were blown.
I have since replaced them & all is working fine.

Thanks for posting this...it was a quick fix for me today. Coming home from the river, the left side headlight blew. When I replaced it with the new one, it was very dim and yellow, just as you described with yours. I suspected a fuse, and a quick check on the forum confirmed it. Replaced the 10A fuse and everything back to normal.

It seems like I blow a fuse every time I've burned out a light bulb...I guess there's a momentary surge of current when the filament goes. Cheers.
