Unhappy [RX7 FD] Front Light Problem.

I explain my problem.
It started a few weeks ago, my right front light began to decrease in intensity. Every day it got worse ..
The problem today is that there really is no more scope and I can not have you just found the problem.
When I turn on the lights, the LED lights slightly enlightened road then they are not running.
I think I have a slight short circuit somewhere, but I really do not know where to start ..

I changed the bulb in the first place.

I attached some pictures, you will see the difference.







Thanks !

What do you mean by this?

It sounds like you have a short somewhere or a bad connection. I would start by checking for continuity from the switch to the harness at the light.

You might have to unwrap the electrical tape that's on the wire leading to the bulb. And check the connection.

I had the same problem, a temporary solution was to adjust the screws on the headlight housing around the corners and tighten them, to give slack for the connection from the car wire to the light bulb, but its better to just trace the wire and fix it

Thank you very much
Yesterday I again verified the connection of the bulb. One of the pods was slightly melted. By moving the bulb alone, I noticed that it was working normally again.
So I twisted the bulb lug it to have a proper based on connections. Over problem.

Electrical problem solved
