That's why I was asking you are sure the fuse's are good because if one of the fuse's fail's it will cause the other head light to be dim. Glad to hear you got it fixed though that's what we like to hear.

You were such a help to me before. Can I ask another question?
My car is acting as if the transmission fluid is low. I've checked the level while it is hot and on level ground and it is fine. I even took it to a transmission shop just to have them check the level, and he said it was fine.
Here's the symptoms: It has been shifting very badly when I first drive it in the mornings. After I drive it for 5-7 minutes it shifts fine. As long as it's warm, the transmission is fine. By shifting badly I mean that it will down shift suddenly and get stuck there for a while.
It's not throwing any codes. I checked with a paper clip by jumping the two terminals under the steering wheel. Just 3 12's.
Any advice would help.
The transmission mechanic said without codes it would be difficult to find

Jump that connector again and watch for the low coolant light to flash out some code's. The engine light flashes out your engine code's the low coolant light flashes out the transmission code's if you have any. Let me know what you find.

So if no light's other then engine light flashes when you jump the obd 1 dlc connector then you don't have any other code's. Which is weird with a transmission shifting issue. Also weird that it goes away when warm usually the hotter the transmission fluid get's the worse it shift's when there is a problem. Let's do this make sure the battery cable's are clean and tight have the battery and alternator tested and we will go from there. Because when you have a battery, alternator or corroded battery cable issue it could effect the shifting. Let me know what you find.
