Default No low beam on one side - bulb or harness?

Just curious if anyone has had this problem in their 928.

No low beam out of the passenger side light pod, high beam works. Is this a bulb, wiring, or could be either?
Guess its a good excuse to get those H4's ordered up.

Bulb, then fuse, then --maybe-- wiring harness. Don't forget relay-relay-relay, although having one working kinda moves relay-relay-relay behind bulb and fuse, ahead of wiring though. Oh, dod I mention grounds? Is the low beam there but just dim? If so, look at your ground connection.

Don't let me stand in the way of a good H4 conversion, BTW.

I had a similar issue that would intermittently affect one side ot the other and sometimes both. Changed bulbs, checked fuses and relay.............it was the harness at the bulb connection.

Easy check; turn the lights on, remove the cover (3 screws) and wiggle the wires. If this is the issue and easy repair can be effected with a new bulb connector and pigtail from your local auto parts store.

Probalby the buld. It's not a sealed beam unit so the buld can be changed without any problems. No need to change the lense.
Use a muli-meter to first check the buld.
