Rewired my 986 headlight just to find the problem is the headlight socket.
My low beams on left and right side went out on my '03 Boxster S
The wiring harness inside my headlights were cracked/brittle and exposing the copper. Thinking this was the culprit, I removed the harness from the plastic headlight housing and rewired everything.
I made sure all lights worked before putting the harness back inside the housing.
When it came to the moment of truth, I was right back where I started. High beams, tuns signals, fogs lights, and city lights all work - but, still no low beams.
The only possible explanation is that the headlight pins are not properly inserting into the socket when installing the housing.
So I took the harness back out. I have half a mind to just de-pin the socket for the low beams on the body harness and drill a hole directly into the headlight housing with a ton of extra wire.
Before I go with that hack job nuclear method, I'm checking here for better plans.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
