All vehicles are required to have low- and high-beam headlamps. If your low-beam headlamps both fail after dark, try switching to high beam. If the high beams don't work either, switch on the emergency flashers. In either case, get the car out of traffic and off the road as quickly as safely possible.
both my lowbeam headlights aren't working although high beam and parking lights do. probably aloose connection. any ideas how i can fix it sal
If both lowbeam headlights fail at once, it probably isn't the lamps themselves. That would be a fluke. The wiring is usually not at fault. It is vulnerable at the ends where the connectors are because they might become corroded. Check that last. That leaves the two other vulnerable points in the circuit: the fuse and the light switch. Check them out.
It is possible that both of the fuses are bad for the low beam headlights and the cruise control. A loose ground wire could cause the fuses to blow.
Not if headlights are reqired by law.
Most can be replaced by you fairly easily. See your owners manual. For a rough idea on what the price is on the actual lamps, see sources and related links below.
The circuit requires the hi/lo switch. You'll need to get a replacement switch for everything to complete the headlamp circuitry.
It cn be the switch, bulbs or wiring. I suggest if you intend to work on your car to get a shop manal on it from AUTOBOOKSONLINE.COM for about $20
You would not drive it at night or when the law says you must display headlights.
In most places, it is not illegal to drive with headlights on during the day. Some drivers choose to do so for increased visibility and safety.
When it is raining during the day you should always keep your headlights on.
I have a 2002 Saturn and they are always on. It's a safety feature.
