Angry Driver's side high beams not working.

Hey everyone. You guys are now my #1 source of RX-7 fix-it problems.

A while back, my car got hit (at the DMV of all places), and the person (hit and run) smashed in the driver's side front corner, damaging the front spoiler and driver side fender bodily. Ever since then, the high beam on the driver's side doesn't work. Obviously, our first thought was relays. We've checked the electrical current, replaced the bulbs even. The passenger side works.

Anyone else have any ideas? If you think it's a relay, where could I find one and do you know how much the run? I need to pass inspection this month, so once again, we're running out of time!!!

Oh, and for anyone that remembers me and my stupid little electrical problem (car not starting), the car runs great! I also had my son and having a baby in a 2nd gen. 7 is NOT FUN!!!!!!

Thanks in advance guys! God bless!

dude the same thing happened to me on the passenger side and everything, take the head light out and look and the gang plug that plugs into the head light, one of the wires is prolly loose, just get some needle nose and crimp the wire again.

but wait I did this to mine and put 2 wires in oppisite position so when I was driving with just head lights the passenger high beam would be on....they cool thing about it is when I hit my high beam on and off really fast it looks like a cop is in your rear view trying to pull you over, I had some fun

Cool Found it

Okay... with a little bit more looking, we found a cut wire, so we are re-doing those three.

I can't stand people that drive around with their bright lights on, but it did sound kind of funny

Thanks for helping anyhow! God Bless!
