Re: low beams wont come on but hig beams do
replace your bulbs, high beams may work but the lows are burnt out!!! if that dont do it then check to see if your getting continuity to the headlights!

Re: low beams wont come on but hig beams do
Did all the dash lights go out at once, or just a few? If all, double check the fuses under the dash. Otherwise, just replace the bulbs as needed. For the headlights, just replace them and you should be fine. The bulbs are dual filament, with one for the low and one for the high. So one can be working while the other does not.

Re: low beams wont come on but hig beams do
Both your low beams should not have gone out at the same time if the problem was the low filaments in the bulbs! Yes, low and high are on entirely different circuits to different filaments. I put Raybrig fogs on my car earlier this year, they are piggybacked to the low beams, so I am trying to remember if there is a low beam relay with the original setup or a second fuse. It is 3AM so I am not going out to look. Sorry! The dash lights? That may be a clue. Good luck.

For the dash lights, check the dash fuse as mentioned, as well as the dimmer switch in the dash (very common problem).

Re: low beams wont come on but hig beams do
did you check the bulbs??? if they are good it could be a headlight switch. and double check the fuses to see if the dash lights are just a blown fuse.
