about 6 months go my passenger side low beam headlight went out and i assumed it had blown b/c when i first got the car the driver side one blew and it was bought with that one. but come to find out the light was fine and still worked b/c i even put it in another car. i have heard from some people that it may be a ground problem.
how can i check this? where does it ground at?
are all the lights grounded separate? i ask this b/c my high beams still work fine. (i actually took the other low beam out and now i just drive with high beams, and it sucks b/c they dont get the outsides of the road)

i am wanting to do a h.i.d. conversion and i was also wondering if while wiring that new set-up, will it fix/replace the ground and solve the problem?
any help will be appreciated
