Headlight replacement Honda accord 1994 Sign In

Hello,

I have a Honda Accord 1994. I don't know anything about car -.- so please help me. This is the picture of my head light. Both of them don't work. My question is what are these 2 lights are? both are headlight? the left one and the right one, should I replace them both?

My right passanger seat headlight



When I turned my headlight on, only the driver side headlight (the bigger one) turned on. The passanger side headlight both bulbs don't work. I don't even know what is the difference between these 2 bulb in the same headlight.. sorry for such a newbie question. Please help me =(

Pic appears to be the lense. This looks like it used a bulb for high beam and one for low beams - meaning four bulbs that would go in from the back. I'd test for voltage at the connector before blaming three bulbs at once. They may work just two at a time or meant to be just two for low beam and all four for high,

Thank you! I test it and they are for low and high beams. One of the low beam on the driver seat does not work and the electricity working just fine.

Temporarily, could I take one of the bulb from the high beam and put it in to the low beam headlight? Would it be the same bulb/light produced?

No - you can't switch bulbs for highs for a low or vs versa. Plug probably won't fit anyhow. You also have to use the exact right bulb at least by wattage so I suggest matching up exactly was was original.

You can swap a known working bulb same type left to right etc for a test. Don't touch the glass of bulbs at all. They don't like that and package should say to use paper when they are cold of course.

If you sense power at a bulb that doesn't work also test the other connection that it is "ground" using a test light backwards if you know what I mean. If it's missing ground - chase down that wire as it should go to the body metal someplace,
