idk whether its a wiring issue/bulb dies out or w.e

but the other day i had my mom and brother check if my low beams turned on and they werent at all, high beams work well though, has anyone ran into this problem?

i was wondering if changing my headlights w/ sylvania h6054's will help give me your feedback thanks!

its the combination switch. clean it or replace it. or blown fuse for the low beams thats what it sounds like.

Its most likely the bulbs man. I had the same prob. A new bulb from autozone and it work fine.

If that don't work then i would clean ur combo switch.

i would say its the fuse what are the chances that both low beams just happen to die at the same time. the fuse box is in the engine bay. look at the fsm for exact location/
