hey everyone im new to the site and im hoping someone here can add some insight into my headlight problem ,both headlights are not working but high beems and tail lights all work fine i noticed the problem because my radio turned itself of then dash lights dimed and warning lights flashed onthen off again then all of a sudden no low beem headlights ,any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Does the car still run and drive?
It's odd that the tail lights and high beams work, but the radio turning off and dash lights dimming usually are the sign of the alternator dying and not recharging the battery.

yes car runs great already tested alt and battery both are fine ,found one burnt out bulb in headlights but doesnt explain the other headlight being out as well and doesnt explain the other issues i mentioned

Test or just replace fuse 15 under the dash. Did your speedometer go whacko too?

What year? Trim level? Anything aftermarket or modified?

In the future please put year, model, trim line, engine/trans, and any modifications/add ons done to the vehicle in every first post you make. Also the title of the thread should reflect what the actual question is. This is to help both yourself and the ones that are scrolling through that actually might drop in to help. You will get better information and responses if they know what you are asking and what you are working on.

Wiring, also check ground wiring. Sometimes even checking around the battery wires can get crimped just by the holster for it being loose and the battery itself rubbing up against it.
