Low voltage to headlights on right side

[moogoogypan]

Hi,

Hit a dear three weeks ago, fixed the damage and then on the first day after repairs hit another dear. Damage both times was to the right, passenger, side. Replaced the headlight assembly including bulbs only to discover the lights glow dimly.

Checked connections and wires but no obvious issues. Some minor housing damage on wires to one of the lamps. As far as i can tell there is a single fuse for the headlights that has four pins and is located under the passenger dash.

Completely out of my element when it comes to electrical issues. Any guidance would be appreciated. was not able to find any answers in a forum search.

Thanks

This doesn't sound right. A single fuse with four pins? Sounds like a relay, not a fuse but according to Chilton both the 15 amp headlight fuse and the DRL relay are in the underhood fuse block.

"Completely out of my element when it comes to electrical issues".
That sounds correct.

"was not able to find any answers in a forum search". Since you did a forum search I and I'm sure others here would be happy to help, just give us more to go on. All headlights dim or just right side? Same with high beams?
