My right front headlight is out, I bought a new bulb and put it in, but
nothing changed. The highbeam works, but not low beam.

Any help or things to try would be appreciated.

First, check your fuses. If I remember correctly, there is a fuse for each
headlight - at least on my 95  EB there was. If that's not it, then do you
know if you have the lamp out indicator? If you do and it's not indicating
that the bulb is out, then the lamp out module is probably your problem. I
had this same thing happen to me.

Thanks,
Tony

Tony, how can you tell if you have the lamp out module?? I have a '98
XLT.

If you have the message center in the console, then you have the lamp out
system. But I don't think the XLT comes with the message center. It was an
option on the Eddie Baurers at the time I bought mine. Did you check your
fuses?

I will check the fuses when my wife comes home tonight. In the meantime
she is driving with high beams. Luckily no one has flashed her yet

The right and left headlamps have their own fuse, also the highbeams
have a separate fuse. Look near the rear of the owner's manual for
fuse location and circuit it covers. Mine says ('96) fuse #8 for right
headlamp and fog lamp. Highbeams run on seperate fuse #33

I had the same problem and it was a faulty Lamp Out Module.  A fellow
here on the newsgroup was kind enough to email me pictures of the
module so I could find it.  It is  between the front seats under the
cup holder.
