First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... This is just a shot in the dark (excuse the pun) but last time I had similar issues it turned out to be a back ground on one of the headlight socket pigtails. This was on a 92 Explorer. Somehow the bad ground caused "backward" flow thru the filament of the "wrong" light in the electricities efforts to find it's way back to ground. Bad grounds do some amazingly weird things.

HI All... First off...I dislike wiring issues. I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to tell or show someone or fake it that i look like i know what I am doing. So, also not afraid to call in a local expert. His name is Dion...he will be introducing himself shortly. He is very good with wiring and I am not just saying that because he just left the garage...lol. So..we are both stumped and need some help. On my 69: Headlight switch on low beam: Pass. Low Headlight is normal Pass. High Headlight filament is glowing orange Drivers. High Headlight filament is glowing orange Drivers low headlight is dull. Headlight switch on high beam: Pass low headlight is normal Pass. high headlight is normal Drivers high headlight filament is glowing orange Drivers low headlight is dull Ruled out the floor switch as I put a new in to test. Also, pulled out drivers side low and turned on headlights...same results for passengers side but no glow for drivers headlight. Tried different bulb, same results as above. So, could be the wee hours, but I sure could use a bit of direction.
