SOURCE: hi.. my 06 r6 headlights

Their is a fuse box next to the battery that has a few fuses in it and a few extras. Bulbs fail often though and a bad bulb can look good. If you touch the lens of the bulb with your finger the oils in your skin can make even a new bulb fail in a few seconds. With a test light cannected to the battery ground( negitive) ( a test light is a tool that looks like an ice pick with a wire coming out the end of the handle with a clip on the end, the handle is clear and has a bulb inside, with the clip connected to ground ( metal of the bike or car or the neg of the battery the light will light as the tip is touched to a pulg or wire thats live with power, if you connect theclip to power then the light will light as the tip is connect to a good ground) With the key on touch the lioght to the plug and it'll light on the terminals that are live with power then connect the light to power and see the terminals that are ground ( you ned both for the light to light) The high beam low beam switch can be open and the wires going to this swich can be tested the same way. f the bike has hit some hard bumps or other hard licks their may be a wire disconnected and looking at all the wiring and unpluging and replugging these connectors can find the problem as dirt or crosion can get into the plugs and get thingsa working.

I have a 2002 chevy impala and suddenly both headlights stopped working. They do not come on even when I pull out the light knob to turn them on manually. Everything else works fine including the high...

It's possible that both low beams have burned out. These modern bulbs are bright enough that sometimes you don't realize that one burned out, before the second one burns out.
You need to check for voltage at the headlight with a volt meter or test light. Or you can replace one bulb and see it works.
I suppose it's possible that a relay or fuse is out. You might check the owners manual for the fuse location.

No headlight. I have neither the head light of dip working. Also the right hand indicator only works sometimes

Give me a detailed problem why you dnt have headlight.
There are 5 reasons obout your problem.
1. the coomon thing is your bulb.
2. Check your hand switch becos perhaps need to
clean or remove the rust in it
3. Check your ignition switch becos it might be
stucked up its component inside.
4. Check the wires if it has pulled from its connector
or accidentally cut off.
5. Lastly,if you think everything you check it and all are good,then check the light coil if it is burned.
