Q: Low beams on both head lights are not working however, the high beams are working when I flip them over.

asked by on January 29, 2018

The low beams or my jeep are not working however the highbeams are working like normal. I can hear it click properly to highbeams when I flip it on the light control stem on the steering column. I changed out the external light fuse and they still donot work. I have also played around with the dimmer to see if that was the problem but it is not either. The dimmer seems to be working like normal as well. Please help!
