the bulbs are : h4 12v 60/55w p43t , so what would i need to fix it ?Quote:

check the fuses inside the car...i think its a 15 amp fuse for the low beams
its 10amp for the low beams. anyway bought a circuit tester (never use one before) but the guy at the shop said should be able to pinpoint out where the problem is.
Last time this happened to me, it turned out to be one of the connectors at the top of the fuse block (under the dash). I can't remember which it was, it was the top row, either left or center. Pins of the connector (fuse block side) were corroded/burnt. Cleaned and tightened the connection and it was fine.
fuse block side the side the fuses go on ?Quote:
