Both those plugs should come out. Mine had oxidation, green like the Statue of Liberty, on both those connectors. I had the same symptoms as you. Once I cleaned up the connectors my lights worked right. If it's not your connectors Maybe there is more than one brake or fray in the wires. Do you have a Multi-Meter? I would Ohm out the wires from end to end.

 

The top plug is sealed in it must be part of the unit. I don't have one of those....I'm thinking about trying to see what happens if I were to replace the low beam bulbs. They are awfully dim compared to the highbeams

 

Check with other members, But I bereave the top plug should come out just like the bottom. If not that would mean the headlight housing is perminent once installed by Chevy. I haven't upgraded my headlights yet But I think Stumpy has. See If you can get one of the other members to answer that for sure before trying to muscle that plug out!

 

yea i stopped i rather have annoying headlights than no headlights...that top plug was connected to the turning signal bulb upon further inspection

 

There's connectors hidden behind those round rubber covers that attach to the low/high beam bulbs. It is common for them to oxidize and create a bad connection. Also check the ground wires for a clean/tight connection.



The other connectors pictured come off by prying the lock tabs outward then wiggling while you pull.

 

Well checked the fuses, checked all highbeams and lowbeams for corrosion, and nothing this is really annoying and i wanna fix this. any ideas anyone?

 

The only other thing I can think of it that the problem is in the Housing itself. I'm not sure if there is a circuit inside the housing. You'll have to get that from one of the members who have taken it apart.
The next thing I would do, if you haven't all ready, is check the voltage going to the lights. I believe there should be 12v on the hot side at all times. At least thats the way the old school cars worked. Something else I have not had the need to check myself. Yet! There's got to be someone here who knows. At any rate, if you have good voltage at the plug, then the problem is in the housing. if it's bad at the plug then you've got to go back to the switch, which is known to go bad. That's the best I can do for you my friend. Hope this helps!

 

I appreciate the help I don't have the right tool to check the voltage. What's that tool called? And I took both the low beams and highbeam bulbs and switched sides...that didn't work...I don't know if its the switch because I don't think that would make yhe highbeam out message to come on...but I will continue the investigation

 

You need a Volt Meter or a Multi-Meter. You can pick one up at any auto parts store, Wall-Mart ect. Price from $10 up.

 

Way late reply here. But after cleaning all connections and checking every wire all the way as far as they go I finally said screw it and hooked up my passenger light on a toggle switch lol. So now I can strobe my lights. Cool feature for a bad problem lol
