My Lowbeams don't seem to turn on anymore

It was working this morning

High beam works but the high beam indicator on the instrument don't lit up

Fuses checked all good

Anyone?

I can only think it has something to do with the light stalk/switch.......or maybe a relay

Suggest changing the fuse even if it looks ok. You can check to see if you are getting power up to the fuse box ie the power in side. Check the power out side of the fuse box to so see if you have power. If you have access to the wiring diagram this will help to pin point relays ( you can check relay for power in and out as well.. I do not know enough to comment about the combo switch- would it give you high beam but not low?

yes high beam not low

ITs ok now

Blubs died LOL


even tho i looked at them and they look fine
I guess you can't tell if a bulb has died or not if you look at it

Strange how both died at the same time

Two bulbs gone at the same time- very odd. Were they blown or the filaments just broken. Makes you wonder if there was some sort of power surge ?? If they were H4 bulbs they of course have 2 filaments for low and high. Anyway looks like you can see again.

well both blew at the same time so i thought it can't be the bulb
so i checked fuses check switch .....

went back to the bulb and checked and it looked perfect nothing broken inside looks like new but just outputs nothing unless its on high beam

well yeah its all good now i got myself 2 new bulbs

If I were you, I would look into this more indepth Tien, cause having 2 bulbs blow at the same time, although not impossible, is highly unlikely

Both my low beams popped at the same time too. High beams OK, everything else was fine. That was in a 90 NA. I thought the worst too...
