Short prolly
Just start checking the wires. See if something has been rubbing or something.

Might also check the harness for the headlights and see if somehow either side is touching or something.

ok guys... here is what i found after about an hour of tracing wires every where and tearing my head lights out and about 27 fuses latter...... the terminal for my left rear brake light has some kind of short from the connector to the housing of the bulb causing it to get less power the the other brake lights.. and making my fuse blow.. i checked and checked and triple check and when i took it apart and put another fuse in and turn on my lights.... what do you know.. my lights work again ... so i'm gonna have to find another one.. or a set and just swap them out.. know of anyplaces where i could get them?? i'm new in Lawrencville so i don't know of any J yards yet thanks again for the advice guys.. this is what the Org is for

you might be able to get a bulb housing at autozone or advanced auto parts.
