Default 4eye question

question about lighting....when your low beams are on your outter lights should be lit and when you flip the highbeams the inner lights should be lit correct?

The outer lights are a dual filament when on low they use one filament and when on high they use the other brighter filament is why they have 3 prongs on them, so most likely your outer left low beam is ok but the high beam filament is burned out.
The inners are high beam only and I agree with 86_GT_Mustang on why they are not working.

ya i agree, trying playin with the wires and then id mabey try a headlight switch.

Question, on mine when the lows are on the inner high beam ones are lit the slightest bit. They glow a little orange? Not a big deal, but any idea why its doing this? When i first got the car it was completely off, but recently it started doing this?
