1 headlight, 2 beams?

[brody]

99 protege es...

took my sub and amp out, and ever since i reset my battery, i've only had one working headlight, but both high beams work just fine? haven't had the time to fiddle with it much, but everything is connected. are the beams and headlights on different circuits and maybe i blew a fuse?

any help is very appreciated-- thanks

sounds like a bad bulb to me.

2 filaments in a single bulb and you lost one.

Replace the bulb, it's easy, just don't use a screwdriver.

alright time for the dumb question-- how the hell do i get the old bulb out? looks like the lens might op off with some work, but don't want to break it, and seems like the bulb might come out the back but doesn't quite want to....

If it's the same as for my MSP (and I think it is):
First take off the electric plug to the bulb, then tear off the rubber moisture guard to expose the clip holding the bulb in place. Now here is where some people have found the screwdriver and messed it all up. Leave the screw alone and you'll see a handle on the upper side on the opposite side of the clip. Press that forard and then down to release the clip and you can pull the clip back 90 degress to release the bulb.

Hope this helps. Remeber, like all halogen bulbs, touching the glass may significantly reduce the lifespan of the bulb
