The two bulbs on the passenger side that are supposed to light when the low beams are turned on don't. There is power to the blue wire in the connector. I suspect there is a breakdown possibility somewhere in the headlight assembly. I tried to test for continuity from the connector to the bulb socket, but I don't understand the pathway for ground and current. These are HID lights. I also have continuity from the harness connector to the connection on the back of the bulb which is new. Hopefully your site will upload my photos. Apparently, it won't. I had this issue before, are others having the same issue?

Nope they upload just fine. Can I ask which phone you have or what kind of image file? Chances are the control unit inside the headlight is bad. Here is a wiring diagram for the unit in question. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

I don't think it's the correct assembly. These are HID lights and there are more wires and none of them connect directly to the bulbs.

I double checked, this is for the HID system. The other wires must be for the running lights?
