Default Front head lights (low beam) not working

I just purchased a 93' Prelude si and the front head lights (low beam) are not working, only the high beam works. I checked all the fuses and they are all fine. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

test light the wires, and replace the bulbs possibly.

I change the bulb already, but I will check the wiring.
Thanks.

Same here, from my research allot of older preludes have ALLOT of problems with the low beams, I recently bought my 92 si with none working low beams.. me and my dad has been working hard to figure out whats the problem.. next thing we plan on doing is getting a voltage meter to see if its even recieving problem.. if you figure out something please let me know.

btw, i posted this same thread on another forums and this is a reply that might help both of us

Check your ground labeled G201, that's the low beam ground.

No problem man, I really need to get this fix so my prelude can hit the road during the night.. its only a day time driver because we get pulled over here for having high beams on when its not needed and get ticketed for it.

I finally got to the bottom of the problem. , First check if the bulb connector to see if you have power, and if you do, than the ground is bad. What I did was, I just added a ground cable and that solve my problem. Good luck.

The other user used another ground source for his/her headlight ground wire (the black wire).
