both headlights go out at same time?

hey today while i was driving both my headlights went out, the high beams still work, but when i turn them on the highbeam illumination doesnt light. i checked the fuses none were blown and the corner lights still work



what could it be, i changed both headlights 1 month ago

 

btw they were working in the drive way, but when i got in the country i noticed they werent on after i used my highbeams once

 

Had that happen to a friend's Dodge Van once (long ago). Never had a good explanation, and finally gave up trying to figure it out. Just put two new headlights in, and went on our way.

Dont know what that could be, but my highbeam indicator does not work now that I got some HID's. I still have not figured out why.

 

check the relays in the fusebox under the hood.

 

i dont even have highbeam with my hid..consider yourself lucky..lol

 

I dont know why the indicator is not coming on my only guess is the wattage difference? The aftermarket lights use H1 style bulbs so high beams are regular 55w silverstars and the lows are 35w hids. But I realy have no idea.

 

My mustang had an issues like that... it was the high/low beam switch. If I even bumped it for the blinkers it would turn the headlights off...

 

dad thinks i have a short :-/ but no blown fuses!

 

a short will typically blow the fuse, hence its purpose, however as stated above the relay could be bad.

Go buy 1 bulb or borrow one from a buddy to check if it works.
