I just bought a 1979 chevy luv and I am working on it to get it on the road. I am having trouble with the head lights. One is bright an the other is dim. I just replaced both an have the same thing, any ideas ?

Thanks

welcomr to the site puckett i have no idea how to help you, but im sure someone here does. by the way where are you located and again welcome to the site.

welcome
check the ground wire for that light

I am for Halifax, Virginia

Thanks for the advice will try an let you know if it works.

Yes check the ground to the light un bolt it clean (scuff pad or wire brush) and replace. Hint go to an electrical outlet and ask for a small bottle of De-Ox and use it on the mounting surface when you bolt your connections back down. This stuff was made to keep aluminum wire from corroding and so far i have found nothing better. Another Hint use it on your battery terminals there's nothing better.

I had a similar problem with both my headlights a while back after painting the engine compartment I forgot to land a ground wire. After correcting the ground problem my lights worked good as new or good as they possibly could.

Thanks alot this took care of the lights problem.

Also just for future knowledge if anyone has a similar problem and its not a ground check the fuses for any corrosion. I had some nasty fuses in my truck when I got it and it was doing the same thing.

Yep--you' re having a grounding issue.
