Help! Headlight not working!

Hi to all g35 members! I have a g35 sedan 2003 for a while now and suddenly my passenger side headlight does not turn on. Driver side works but not the passenger side. I am talking about the lights that you turn on at night...Do you guys think its the fuse or the bulb itself? Thanks for helping me in advance.

based on current weather, recent tsunami in Japan, global warming and dark matter theory I'd say you got to replace your bulb.

If that don't work........blame Obama and get a new headlight.

Check the fuse box already. I am pretty sure each headlight has a different fuse

Thanks for the information guys but finally it is just the headlight. I got a quote from the infiniti dealership to replace them and its quite expensive and i can just DIY. Just by replacing one bulb would make the other one not similar in color so i thought i should purchase a kit of HIDs with the ballast since my car does not come with factory hid on the g35 2003. Which hid kit would ve better? I guess H1s?

No do not buy HIDs for your non HID lights.

Just buy 2 new bulbs and install them. Did you look at the fuses?

"If it ain't broke don't fix it."

Just replace the bulb and be done with it. Unless you have an unlimited supply of cash there is no reason to do this mod.

have you checked the head light switch??? It would suck to go through all the hassle of changing those bulbs and it turn out its the faulty headlight switch that is ever so common....
