As if I don't have enough to worry about just now... I went for a ride last night and found 2 strange things w/ my headlights.

1) When headlights are on, turn signals do not work. If I turn lights off, signals work fine. Emergency flashers work fine either way. All fuses are good.

and the weird one...

2) My left headlight works fine on high or low beam. The right one appears to do the exact opposite ! The (right) high beam points down close, the low beam point far away. Fortunately, it points enough to the right not to blind oncoming drivers. Is this something that can be adjusted ???

TIA,
Jeff

Yeah sounds like either the right headlight wires are swapped either at the fuse panel or at the connector that plugs into the bulb.

It's that RRc award left headlight cover. The right headlight is jealous.

These guys sound like they might have figured it out for you Jeff. Any luck?
