Default 95 LS400 Low Beam Problem

So a couple days ago my drivers side low beam did not work...i did not notice right away because the fogs are always on. Now the drivers side does not work. I checked both bulbs and they are fine. High Beams, Fogs and Park lights all work fine. I tried google-ing the problem becuase with so many people out there, its almost certain someone else had the problem. no such help was found.

Anyway...I checked all fuses and relays I could find...before i go ripping into the wiring and such and just making a huge mess...anyone have this problem and fix it? Saves me a headache...thanks a lot!!!

its a headache i want to get rid of...


THANKS AGAIN!!!

bulbs may look fine but aren't. I've replaced quite a few oem koito and toshiba bulbs in my ls400's. the filament may be intact, but they no longer light up.

are you getting 12v at the bulb end of the harness? you have to get out the multimeter and work your way back.
