    I have a 1997 T800 with a four bulb headlight system, all four lamps light up when I have my highbeams on but when the lowbeams are on only one lamp on one side lights up. So the problem isn't my bulbs cause they all work when I have highbeams on. Where should I start looking?

    Sounds like the bulb that isn't working has a burnt out low beam.
