headlights wont turn on

last night i got in my car to come home and i turned my lights on but nothing happened. my brights work fine parking lights work fine and the fuses are all still good. anybody have any ideas why this is happening?


its a 97 civic EX with stock headlights just in case you were wondering. and the bulbs are new within 6 months and they are silverstars in case that helps anyone with this. any more questions or answer can be PM to me or aim justchad25

thanks in advance for all the help

check your connections...all of them. When you put the new bulbs in check all the connections around them...any connector that you missed? Make sure the bulb is in there correctly...if not, then it might be your electrical system failing..but doubt it...check ur bulbs and make sure its all connected right

well everything has been working fine until last night but ill check the connections

check your relays and fuses too...

This happened to my buddy a while back in his 93. I don't know the "technical" terms for it, but the switch/lever that the headlights turn on with needs to be replaced. For over a month he drove everywhere with his brights on, even brought a roll of tape in his car to hold it in place while he drove (GHETTO). Anyhow, he replaced it, and now they work fine. Hope this helps.

both low beam bulbs blew simultaneously

lol ain't that just a kick in the nuts

yeah man specially cuz they are relatively new
i busted my balls to figure that out

mostly likly the low beam relay...but tahts assuming all other lights worktoo
