Question 2003 STR lowbeam issue

Well, I picked up another 2003 STR thinking I could use a hobby of restoring it. My first issue, trying to figure out why the lowbeam headlight wasn't working. This is what I've done.
1. Replaced Xenon bulb with a new one. Didn't work.
2. Luckily I have another 2003 STR, so I hooked it up to my other Jag, and it worked!
3. Replaced the Xenon bulb with the original bulb, it worked.
4. Took the headlight assembly back to the hobby STR, hooked it up, still doesn't work.
5. Checked relays, swapped out relays and it still didn't work.
6. Come to the conclusion that it isn't the headlight assembly because it works on the other STR, so it's something with the project car.

Any ideas?

Study workshop manual / electrical guide / this forum - e.g. about drooping lights.

You'll find a few items to work through.

Was that a blanket statement? I only ask because that's why I asked the question in the first place since I went through the forums and didn't find someone with the same problem. Haha. I don't have a shop manual for the STR, so I'd figured to see if anyone has ever had this issue before downloading wiring schematics since I hate electrical issues. 😎

Wow, a fix that wasn't painful or costly!
