Right Headlight keeps going out

[Chip Flanders]

Hi everyone. I replaced my factory headlights with LED headlights. Then the warning light would go on and the right one was not working. I replaced the LEDs back to OEM style lightbulbs. That worked for about a month and then the right one went out again. What should I be checking to see why the right headlight only keeps going out? Thanks everyone

Well if its not an obvious loose connection, then something probably got fried...Assuming you also didn't add a resistor (to avoid the warning light) and forgot to remove?

Thanks for the reply. I’ve checked the connection to the bulb several times and it seems fine. I did not add a resistor, just swapped the bulb. The left one is fine, it’s only the right one. What would have gotten fried?

The right side bulb, to start. Of course, you probably tried swapping them to see if it made a difference and to make sure the right one still works?...If the right side bulb works when swapped, then its something in the wiring. Off to the dealer you go. Just make sure you show up with the original OEM bulbs installed!

Thanks for the reply. I figured it would be a trip to the dealership. I appreciate your help.
