anyone ever experience power loss to one of the headlights.
I already checked the fuses, they're ok....I tested the ground, it's ok, the other lights in the headlight have power. It's only the lowbeam that has suddenly lost power, and only on the pass. side.

All the time...
Been dealing with that for several months - think it's the starter/igniter (same thing?).
Dealer checked it out & told me it wasn't worth the $$$ to fix until it either goes out completely or I can't stand it (happens about every other drive at lease a few times - steadily increasing in freqency)
Couple of things that might help:
- Turning lights off then on fixes it.
- Noticed leaving the fog lights on seems to reduce the number of incidents.
- Also noticed it happens more often during cold weather and with the occasional bump in the road
At some point I'll just buy a new starter/ignitor & have it replaced (ebay or shokan)
