Default High beam actuator problem

Hello everybody, I have a 2010 Mazda 3 Grand touring, it is a rebuild car, so it has a few details, one of them is that the right high beam doesn't work, after a few research I realized that the current actuator is not the best for the car, because it lacks of the connection for the right high beam.

I mean I got literally a loose cable hanging there because I don't have where to plug it.

Any suggestions?

Ps. I pretty sure that thing controls the elevation of the lights, cause mines always points to the floor


this is the actuator my car has

Have a look at the LHS headlamp setup, the RHS will have all the same parts & setup.

No, you have two headlights, they will both have bulbs and the actuator, if your missing something off 1 side, look at the otherside to see whats missing.

Got it, thank you

Actually I did that with my former mechanic, and that is what we discover, I mean:

- There are a set of cables running from some part of the car to the headlights, one of them is hanging because I don't have where to plug it.
- We made the test of unplugging the left HB from the actuator and plug it the right one and it worked
- The current actuator is attached to the car with a cable tie belt, I search it and it appears to be for a lexus not mazda

I think I need a new actuator with two connections? or get a tricky electrical connection?
