low beams didn't work, then worked
I know this is the wrong section, but there seems to be no traffic in the lighting section.
I turned on my lights and my low beams didn't work
I then switched over to high beams to drive
When I switch back over to low beams, the low beams started to work
This only happened once, but is there something I should be worried about or is this not a big deal. This ever happened to anyone?

what bulbs are you using. i made the mistake of running 100 watt bulbs once and toasted my headlight harnesses. they would work intermittently.

I'm just using standard 55w bulbs. Usually my passenger signal hyperblinks, and I recently noticed that my blinkers are flashing at normal speeds after this incident where my low beams didn't work then worked. Could there be something wrong with the lighting system? This is weird.

Check the wiring on the headlight switch on the column, they are prone to failure on 7th gens as well, I think they were even recalled on the 7th gens, You may have a terminal burning out.

Turns out the previous owner tampered with the wiring. Both h4 and signal bulb harnesses were spliced, twisted together, and taped. I had to properly solder together the connections, so now everything should be fine. Dumb previous owner.
