If you bought it from a used car dealer, it is their responsibility. If you bought it from a private party, it's probably on you. Say hello to your credit card or checkbook...

You still have to have the inspection, but check the fuses for the low-beams. They are separate from the high-beams

However, if the DMV says "you need this to register it", you need it to register it. They are probably going to ask for a safety inspection, as well. If you didn't make arrangements with the seller, then it's your problem. There are no "lemon laws" to protect you with private party used car sales.

Low and high beam headlights don't work. Parking lights, break lights, turn signals all work. Two weeks I had to buy a new battery and but before I bought the battery both low and high beam lights worked...

More than likely there is a bad ground. The same ground wire that is used for the headlights is spliced into and used for the parking lights, brake lights and directional lights. The circuits for the brake lights, the brake light switch, the directions and directional switch are related. The circuits for the parking lights, headlights, headlight switch and high/low beam switch are related as well, but the only thing all these circuits have in common is their ground source. Any questions feel free to write back. Good Luck.

Park lights work on 1995 Camry but brake lights don't.. high beams work but low beams don't. All bulbs have been replaced but still not working. Any ideas?

for the brake lights check your fuses and relays and for your low beams your multifunction lever needs to be changed.

Left brake light stays on constantly when headlights are on. When headlights are off, left brake light is dimmer than right brake light when brakes are applied. I did recently change the brake bulb. ...

There is a shortage some where at the brake bulb and low beam holder. Take off the bulbs and inspect carefully those losing wires attached to the ends can cause the problem. Good luck.
