Default Headlamps out!!!

Hey All,
This morning heading into work, I noticed that my headlamps do not work? I can flash on my brights and they stay on for a second and then I get nothing.

Could this be a fuse issue? Any thoughts or ideas would be great!

Side note: All my other lights work - fog lights, break lights, turn signals...

Thanks!!

Parker

Are they the stock lights or have you upgraded to the the IPFs or something along those lines?

Check for water in the housing. It could have fried your bulbs if it's not properly sealed.

It might be weird but it could happen. They could have done it overnight.

Did you replace them yourself? Or did you have a shop do it for you?

I did them myself. I'll check them when I get home this evening. Do you know the fuse layout so I can check that as well?

Thanks!

Could be a bad relay; worth checking while you're inspecting the fuses.

Try pulling your negative cable for thirty minutes. Sometimes it clears bugs. Like a reboot

When I upgraded to IPF's, mine went out due to a poor connection at the harness. I ended up cutting off the connector altogether and just hardwiring them together. Works like a charm now!
