LLY: No low beam but have high beams

[MWDHAND]

Hey Guys

Driving out to Moab UT last night we stopped for diesel and when we got in and started it we had not low beam but when you flick it to high I have high beams? This is the same way wether on the auto or on manual lights What could it be?

Thanks

Check please

Both low beam filaments burnt out? Switch on column pooched? Do you have daytime running lights? Do they work? Check some fuses would be my next step. These are all guesses on my part. Any more info?

Probably the relay. Check the under hood fuse box. You can swap the high beam relay for the low beam relay and see if they start working. It could also be the fuses. Each headlight has its own fuse.

X2. If the relays, fuses and bulbs are good then I would start checking connections. If they all check out then it could be the dimmer switch.

When its on low beam, beat on the headlight and see what it does, seriously, i had to do this to mine 3 times one night to get home and it never did it again, never did find the cause.

Well had sometime to look at them before mountain biking and what are the odds that both lights were burnt out and at the same exact time. I had to have a power surge happen and take them out. Totally strange!!:thumb: Thanks for the help guys!!!

Maybe one burned out first and you never noticed. Nice to have an easy fix though. :thumb:

I have lost both low beams at the exact same time several times over the years. It seems weird, but maybe it is just a result of really close manufacturing tolerances; they really do last exactly the same amount of time....?

I'm going to try the chicken blood on my recurring lift pump issues on the 6.5 this weekend...
