Check the bulbs, the low beams could be burnt out.

My bet is that your headlight relay is burned. Your FTP function will still work even with toast relay, but no other (low/high beams) will function. It is located under the dashboard. May be try pulling horn relay and swapping them to see if your lights work. Of course check the bulbs, fuses, etc. If you need a new relay, any Bosch style automotive relay should work. Good luck.

Let us know how it works out. Also, I just went and edited the topic title a bit, so it is easier for people to understand what the thread is about.<p>[ September 18, 2003: Message edited by: JDM ]</p>
