I have a 1987 Nissan ZX. I am looking for information to repair my head
lamp.
My front head lamp on the driver side will not come on when the head head
lamp switch is set to low beam and when I switch to high beam, the passenger
(the other side) goes out and the driver side light goes to high beam. I
bought two new lamps from the dealer and change both of them. The problem
still exist. Is there a separate fuse for each head lamp also for high and
low?
My fog lamps also broken. (Lens cracked). Is there a place that sell
aftermarket that will fit as OEM?

Thx to all who can help me!

Newbie for Nissan

Head light switch has contacts for each seperate bulb. It either needs to be
taken apart and cleaned or replaced. VERY comon problem.

Nope, go get one from a junkyard or buy from the dealer.

Thanks Steve!
Are you refer to the hand switch at steering column? If it is, Do I have to
remove the steering wheel to access the switch?

Thanks for the help.

Yes.

Yes. You shouldn't need a puller, take the nut off and "wiggle" the wheel
and it should come off.
