Default Blah my passenger lights aren't working.

I had a problem two months back where my headlight has condensation problems and I was a struggle to get a dealership to replaced that under warranty for so odd reason. After they replaced the headlight my passenger light bulbs keeps going off and on....sometimes i'll stay on and sometimes it'll stay off. If I tap the headlight my day running lights and corner lights will come back on....the lo beam and hi beam has no effect to any of this and works jsut fine. After two months the lights still does it again and when I tap it this time around it stop working. I check the connections for anything loose and nothing it's tight. I thought the bulbs are burnt out and replace them and still nothing. Anyone know what can possibly wrong?

How did you end up having condensation problems? I have only seen this happened with modified headlights, which is why any dealer would be relluctant to provide a free replacement. The headlights are sealed really well until people start opening them up. I have a condensation problem with my passenger-side headlight, but only because I have opened it many times and it won't reseal properly.

i never touched the headlight.....cause i hate aftermarket headlights. The condensation problem happened like two weeks after I purchased the car.

Did you buy it new or used? I'm not talking about aftermarket, but I opened up my stock lights and it's hard to reseal them correctly afterwards. Maybe the previous owner did something similar. A bad seal can go unseen for months during the summer, but it shows when the weather gets colder and the rain comes.

Well damn, I dunno then. If it's a new car and you haven't modified the lights, then you have every right to have those problems fixed for free by the dealer.

found out the problem to it......when the dealership replaced my headlight the tech must have forgotten to take out the harness and it was cut clean....why you ask that I led to this assumption is because the person strip the two ends twisted together and electrical taped it together. I fixed it and made sure the connections won't be exposed to any water.....listen learn never take the car to the dealership again
