The switch. Or you can run a wire from one head light to the other. But, double check your fuses and remove head light bulb plugs and check to see if the terminals are burnt out.

switch is buggered and you need to get the CORRECT number on the back of switch for your car.been there done that several times and best to go round the wreckers.pick a part first and go from there check out the bluebirds and everything nissan

These switches are only about $120 brand new.They are at the age now where even the one you get from the wreckers is likely to give trouble.Not really sure what Nissan were thinking when they designed these switches with seperate contacts for each beam.

Jeez, everyone replaces them! Just pop the clear cover off the back & clean the contacts on the wee 'fingers' easy job
