Wonkie eyed 87

I'm tracking down a problem with my right high beam. Low beam works, but no ground at the socket or the connecting lugs in the headlight bucket. So how does the low beam work?? Damn gremlins in there!

PO installed a high/low beam switch and a new headlight switch. Maybe this is the problem? I have checked the fuse box next to and identical 87 targa, it loOKs all the same. All fuses are good, connections OK. Well except for the blown blower motor fuse! That motor is toast I'm sure... keeps snapping fuses and burning Piggy's!

Anyone else have this problem? Maybe accidental mis-wire something?

Maybe someone has a better diagram than the Bentley flow path diagrams? They are rather piss poor...

Probably a really weak low beam right?

The high beam shares the same ground so it provides a pathway out of the light through the other light's high beam to the other light's ground.
