Q: Passenger headlight wiring issues
My headlight on the passenger side of my 2005 Nissan altima kept going out, like i had a connectivity issue, and finally has gone completely out, even though i replaced the bulb only a few months ago. I took a look inside the headlight and saw that the wire connected to the fuse of the headlight is no longer attached to the fuse and the connecter. How do rewire that to the connector, or how much will it cost to replace that wiring?
