I had the exact same problem. Everything checked out ok at the garage including the earths. Finally we discovered that it is very easy to push the bulbs in in the wrong position and they will work but they are too dim. There is only one way that they are supposed to fit in, as soon as we got them slotted in correctly - bingo, dazzling headlights!

SOURCE: 2004 Cavalier Day/dim lights not working

I finally got mine fixed!! It was the crossover wires between headlights(the wires that run in front of the radiator). One wire was torn into. Spliced them and taped back together. Hope this works for you!! I also used something called wire caps that help hold the spliced wires together. I found this solution on yahoo.com search engine where someone else had suggested this. My only problem was no dim lights, but all the other lights worked fine.

SOURCE: dim headlight don't work but bright does and bulbs

If the low beam doesn't work, the bulb is burned out. You can verify this by checking for 12 volts at the low beam bulb socket

Both dipped headlights are not working, does'nt seem like a faulty fuse.

Welcome to FixYa.com

Check with a test light at the head light switch for power. If there is power. go to Headlight Relay.

Brights work but dims dont changed the bulbs didnt help

You probably installed the wrong bulbs. Although the bulbs you bought may physically fit into place, they may be wired differently. Go to the auto parts store and look up the proper bulbs for your specific vehicle--don't just buy ones on the shelf that look the same. I have a friend who did that and the bulb he got was designed such that they high and low beams were reversed, so he always had one headlight on high and the other on low!

Headlights flicker almost like strobe lights

Take it to a dealer. You may even get him to laugh and show you how to turn it off.

Car headlights. I have replaced the two dipped headlight bulbs as the old bulbs stopped working. They are now very dim when on dipped, and are only as bright as the side lights. The Full beams are...

It's actually VERY unlikely for BOTH bulbs to go at the same time - sounds like you have a wiring problem (loose connector somewhere or wire trapped and abraided ...) ....

See if you can follow the wires from the light clusters across the engine compartment (will be after the two sets 'join up' since both bulbs are effected) .. if you can't find an obvious break / connectror, you will have to take it to a garage ..

(If only one light went & you changed both, did you fit the right 'wattage' bulbs ??)
