Right Side Low Beams not working...

So I've had my single-beam 6000K HID's for about 1/2 year now and I've decided to go the bi-xenon route. I got the kit and installed it to find it not working. To verify it is the controller, I put my halogens back in and lit them up. Both Silverstars running both beams fine. Well I'm having a new controller sent to me so I put my single-beam HIDs in later on that day. My right side didnt come on. So I put my stock halogens back in. Again, my right side didnt fire. When I clicked my high-beams, they lit up. Can someone shine some light (pun intended) on my low-beam problem?

Well these are with my halogen bulbs that the low beams are not working. I checked the bulb, its fine, and tried putting in another bulb, same problem. Its plug and play with the halogens, I have no idea why they are giving me trouble

Did you try cleaning the connector? Some dirt or other crap might have gotten in there when you were installing it.

no they are not. check fuse 26 in the cab. it powers your right light and DRL module.

if thats not the problem i would suggest checking the ground for that light. its could be corroded and a weak connection and when you were playing around with it you may have ripped the ground off of the chassis.

Let's check the owners manual, page 137.......

Nope

02SC4x4 has the info, fuse 26 is the Right, might have blown the fuse messing around with swapping in and out the HID kit ?? Good place to start maybe.

Else, put a meter on the headlamp socket.

Right headlamp socket:
Dark Green w/ Orange Stripe = low beam
Light green w/ black stripe = high beam
black = ground.

Thanks, I have found the fuse is blown. I'm about to go test them again and see if maybe I can get my bi-xenons to fire.

could be fuse, could be the bulb. You can try switching left and right bulbs if the fuse isnt blown. But start with the fuse.
