Headlight issues

[Flyboy]

can any one shed some light on this... Have an AE111.. Had a blown right Main light, had it replaced but both sides dont work.. any ideas...

Check your fuses

edit: Actually, do headlights even have fuses? If they do, I've never had to replace them. Would seem a silly idea, being that a headlight is somewhat of a fuse itself... But check anyway

[Flyboy]

are the headlights usually a 20amp fuse?

[3T-Rona]

yep headlights r fused, usually if a bulb blows the fuse blows as well, 90% of the time thats the case any way. sum have hi/low fuses seperate and sum have left/right fuses seperate

[Flyboy]

Both of the fuses... Left and reight are fine.... Its only the ouside main bulds that arent going... the High beams are fine as are the spot and the side lights..

Thats a load of bs that the fuses usually blow as well as the bulbs. Both sides are fused independently for obvious safety issues and they hardly ever blow. Low beam usually blows first as you use it the most. Older cars as well as a few newer ones have a 3 pin twin filament with both high and low beam which requires a new bulb not just low beam to be replaced. I would get a test light onto your plugs for the headlights... and check that they are plugged on correctly... its amazingly easy to misalign that plug and have the pin and socket not connecting correctly if you are doing it in a hurry.
