headlight trouble on 65 c10

I am almost done with my 65 c10. I was finishing up some stuff today on it. One of the headlights did not work on high beam so I thought I would change it with another headlight I had laying around. I did and then neither headlight would work on low or high. So I put the other one back in with the same result. The ground was a little loose so I changed the plug with a good one and still nothing. I then ran a ground wire from the battery to the headlight and with it just hanging by the harness both came on. I re installed the headlight and nothing but the passenger side works on high only. I have a new under the dash harness,dimmer switch, and headlight switch. Any ideas?

Thumbs up Re: headlight trouble on 65 c10

Well you answered your own question. If they both worked with the added ground then it's a ground issue. Take them back out and check the light connector on each light and the tabs of each light. With the light unplugged take a test light and check the connector to see if they have power.
Going by what you said they should but the ground maybe not making good connection.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
