After hooking everything back up after a lengthy resto, the LH headlamp is dim, the parking light in the valance is out. When I put a good bulb in the parking light, the side marker light goes out.

One prong of the LH healight connector has 12v, another prong has 4v and the other 0.

The RH headlight has 12 - 13v to two of the prongs. I'm rally lost when it comes to electrical stuff.....where do I start?

Thanks in advance

Nevermind....I found a ground I had missed...works fine now.

Oh, my gosh! I fixed an electrical problem. I'm number one! I'm number one!....... "We are the champions...WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS......"

We simple minded people are so easy to please.
