major light problem

ok heres the deal.... I cant use my low beams.... only my highs will turn on..... I checked EVERY DAMN FUSE UNDER THE HOOD AND INSIDE THE CAR..... EVERY other light works ... except the low beams will not turn on .... I even bought new bulbs thinking it was that.. but no luck.... every fuse works and the bulbs are brand new... Im outside right now . aiming the HIGH beams down towards the ground because i need some form of headlights.. PLease if anyone knows what i should check or what i over looked let me know .. I AM SOO PISSED . I CANT FIGURE THIS OUT.... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

The headlight bulbs in our stock headlights are DUAL filament. One of the Filaments is burned out. Same thing happened on my low beams. Get new bulbs.

Might be your switch. Thats something I would check. It happened to my 84 Jeep. Of course the switch was on the floor and liked to get wet.

Your high-low beam switch....thats whats wrong right? You can't get low beams? Only high. So go to the source. The switch that controls the two. Or maybe it's not that...how the hell do I know. I'm just trying to help.

well if u can't figure it out and no one else can, just bring it to the dealer, sounds like a cheap fix anyways, 30 maybe 40 bucks

you said you checked all of the fuses, did you check the relays too? they're the black, square looking things in the box under the hood (i think theres a headlight icon printed on the fuse map to locate them). as far as i know, they only way to check a bad relay is to try a new one.
