Re: headlights

Sometimes the headlight is just bad. In normal use, the tungsten filament vaporizes and re-deposits onto what ever filament is still burning. Turns the light from white/yellow to kind of brown.

It could also be a bad ground connection; most likely a corroded headlight connector.

The turn signal bulb in front has a dual filament. One of the filaments is burnt out. Replace it with a 2057NA bulb and it should be OK.

It isn't a bad idea to replace bulbs in pairs. When one is bad, the other isn't too far behind.
