How do you repair low beam headlights when high beams work fine?

If the high-beams work but low-beams don't... If it's both lights, it's likely the switch is faulty. If only one light fails - it's more likely to be the individual bulb. Remember - there are two bulbs in each headlight.

What would cause my low beam headlights on my 1991 Nissan pickup to not work when high beams work fine It is not the headlight?
bad light switch.
Why would your car's high beams work but not your low beams?
Possibly two bulbs, possibly the switch. Get it diagnosed. check your fuses for your headlights. i have a '97 accord and installed aftermarket headlights and one day one of my lowbeams wouldn't work but my high beams would be on with my low beams on, and when i switched for the highbeams, my low beams would both go out. you can get a thing at shucks, or even walmart, to check the fuse to see if it's working, very simple to use. :) Did you try replacing the one headlight that only works on the high beam mode? First check to see if you have a relay. If it dont have one, the problem lies on the dimmer switch. Locate the dimmer switch. On some vehicles the dimmer switch is part of your headlight switch. If only one of your headlights is affected then it probably isn't a fuse or relay. A light that is both a low beam and a high beam has two filaments. One of the filaments is probably broken. Replace the headlight and it should fix the problem. i did replace the lamp on a 96 sunfire and the low beam still does not function. highbeams work fine, but no low beams on both headlights now. I have a similar problem. Both headlights low beam filaments on my WRX STi had blown and the replacement low beam filaments blew too??? So I've still only got high beam which is fine but other drivers are getting a wee bit annoyed (and rightly so)All fuses are good and correct factory ampage. The new bulbs are H4's which is the factory correct bulbs yet low beam filaments gone on both bulbs. I'm bewildered...
Why wont the low beams on a 2003 KIA Sedona work even after changing lamps when the high beams work fine?
low beam fuse blown.
What is rider beam?
Perhaps a beam balance is the subject of your enquiry? If so, a rider beam is the beam along which one moves the small pointers till the point of balance is reached. A Triple Beam Balance will have three such beams. Coarse, medium and fine.
My low beam lights don't work. My high beams are fine. What could the problem be?
Bab bulbs? (they are double filamented) Bad dimmer switch? Bad low-beam relay?
What could be wrong if the low beams and high beams stopped working on a 2000 Toyota Tundra but the bulbs are fine and the daytime running light and the parking lights and blinkers still work?
If the high and low beam headlights stopped working on a 2000 Toyota Tundra, the fault could be with the headlight relay switch. This is a large fuse located in the fuse box on top of the battery.
How much is fine when you drive with the high beam light on?
It is perfectly legal to drive with high beams on, as long as you dim them when required by local law.
If your low beam headlights work but your high beam functions fine on passenger side but not driver side where do you troubleshoot?
Change the globe or lamp. H4 type globes contain the high and low beam, so whilst low beam is working OK the high beam part is likely blown.
Will a spot beam help to fine tune a satellite television dish?
spot beams are usually for local channels beamed into a certain area. they have nothing to do with tuning the satellite dish.
What would cause the low beam headlamps to stop working on a 91 Geo Prizm but the high beams work fine and the blue high beam indicator doesn't work either - have checked fuses and relay?
OK, the REAL reason this happened is that the GROUND from the LOW BEAMS opened and did not return to the dash. This causes the HIGH BEAM indicator to not work (because believe it or not, they use the low beam filaments as a return for the low beam indicator!), but the high beams to still work OK. Rather than disassemble the whole dash & turn signal assy., I just ran an additional ground wire to the LOW beams (through a switch, so I could disable it if necessary) and it solved the problem. I still don't have the little blue high beam indicator, but you casn tell if they're on or off . . . P.A.
97 Ford Explorer and the dim headlights wont work The high beams work and all others work checked the fuses and they are fine Any suggestions?
Check bulbs Check relay Check dimmer switch If it has daytime running lights (DLR) then try removing the DLR module. I had one where high beams worked when pulling back, but high beams would not work when pushing forward. The regular headlights would not turn on at all. The interior lights and instrument lights all worked fine. The fix was to replace the multifunction switch (turn signal lever).
Why might the low beam headlights on a 1992 Honda Civic not work if the high beams work fine?
1992 and later-model civics use a single bulb for both high and low beams. There are 2 fuses per bulb, each corresponding to either a high or low beam. Check your owners manual for the correct fuse numbers, the service manual only covers the fuse numbers for lx/ex models. If you have a bad fuse, replace it. If the fuse isn't the problem, remove the fuse for the beam in question. Use an volt meter (or multimeter) to check for 12v at the fuse. If 12v is present on the problem circuit, one of your engine bay wires is cut. If not, the combined headlight/turn signal switch is broken. Honda is recalling 440,000 Civics and Insights to address a problem with the cars' low-beam headlights. The recall involves 2001-2002 model year Civics and 2000-2002 Insights. Honda will ask owners to visit the nearest dealership, which will perform free repairs on the vehicles whether or not they show any potential damage. this guy asked about a 1992 civic not 2001 and up! Check the wiring with a test light. If you are getting voltage at the headlight then your low beams are burned out. If you have no voltage, check the fuses under the dash, there is a pair for high beams and for low beams. the high and low beams are 2 different lights. usually the high beam still works when the low beam goes out, you just have to replace the whole bulb/lense. its only like 8 bucks. ^^actually just one light bulb on these ones bud^^...check your fuses
