2004 Outback, low beam is out on the driver's side only, low beam is bright on passenger side. Hi beams work normally on both sides. Ruled out the bulb. I'm not very good at troubleshooting electrics, but I want to try before I pay someone (since usually that doesn't work out much better than my own attempts anyway, but costs a lot more). I pulled the assembly where the socket is, figuring that the problem is likely there and not in the controls, relay or fuse. I did a continuity check of the wires in that assembly, and they all seem ok (but like I said, I'm not good at it!). Nothing looks overtly corroded or broken. My next step will probably be to go get the same assembly from a junkyard and put that in, to see if that fixes it.
Here is a pic of the assembly I'm talking about.
In the meantime I am wondering what the wires in this assembly are for, if anyone knows: there is a green one that goes to the socket, a black one that splits and goes to the socket and somewhere, and a red one that goes somewhere ("somewhere" in this case being a connector that stayed on the car).
Also, if anyone just knows how to fix this that would be good too! Or if there's a part number for this assembly, in case I can't find one. It says "20653" on the front of the cover, but that doesn't correspond to a part number as far as I can tell...
Thanks!
