I would turn the headlights on inside, but the drivers side won't come on ntil I hit the cover. First the passenger side went out and I changed the complete headlight assembly. It works now. What do I do to make the drivers side work?

Hi remove the plug from the bulb clean the contacts on the plug you may have to bend the connector inside the plug to allow for better connection. or simply replace the plug.. good luck
