START BY CHECKING FOR A BURNT FUSE. THEN YOUR LIGHT SWITCH. SOME OLDER CARS HAVE A FUSE ON THE BACK OF THE LIGHT SWITCH ITSELF. THESE ARE NOT THE EASIEST THINGS TO WORK ON. DASHES ARE TRICKY SO IF YOU NOT VERY EXPERIENCED HAVE IT CHECKED BY SOME ONE ELSE. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATERY BEFORE YOU WORK WITH THE DASH. YOU MAY JUST HAVE TWO BURNED OUT HEAD LIGHTS. ITS POSSABLE! GOOD LUCK
