Headlights don't work?

'98 FB, low beam headlights don't work. High beams do work? Checked for fuses? ,any thoughts? Could both be burned out?

Welcome to the forum Frank and sounds like a relay or switch issue to me.

I had that problem with one of my headlights a while back when I first got my car. Turned out that the low beam filament was burned out, but the high beam filament was still in tact. So whenever I would turn my headlights on, the low beam wouldnt work, but the high beams would. All you have to do is go up to a nearby AutoZone or Advance Discount Auto Parts and buy some new bulbs. I think 2 of them cost me about $40 together.. It's not too expensive. Maybe someone here else knows where you can get cheaper lights. But I'm pretty sure that's your problem right there.

yeah ur bulbs are blown most likely, it happens, replace one, if it works, then buy the other (no point in wasting cash)

I'd Think that it would be a relay or somethin like formula said, its kinda odd for both bulbs to go out at the exact same time... But you can check that without buying new ones, just pull the bulb out and look at the filament... if there is a spring lookin wire connected to the wires on both sides of the bulb, then they are good, if it's damaged or missing.. buy new bulbs. That should save you even more money if it isnt the bulbs...

That is odd... I guess it happens though, on the plus side, you can replace them with some of them super bright xenon bulbs
