one headlight
Hi all, My 1982 XJS seams to have a headlight issues. The right( passenger side) low beam is out.I tried the obvious and changed the lamp but still nothing. If I put the high beams on both lamps light but both lamps on the driver side go off. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Go to the headlight fuse box, check and remove the fuses, and clean the fuse end caps and the little clips that they snap into. If that doesn't help then unplug & clean all the bullet connectors nested under the headlight fuse box. Also, remove/check/clean/tighten the two headlight ground points. These are at each end of the radiator upper mounting panel.

If you pull the bulb socket off the bulb and use a test light or a meter to test the high beam and the low beam contacts and see which is live when, you can work back up the wires to the relay from there, following Doug's prescriptions.
For example, a broken low beam feed wire that has melted downstream of the break into the high beam feed wire would give you those symptoms.
