Default 1993 accord headlights

hi all,

need some suggestion on my 93 accord. My headlights went out about one week ago. I have checked the low beam light bulbs and they are still in good condition. Also checked the fuses and they were good.

The headlight is unable to turn on at this point and my high beam also does not work.

I was wondering if the bulb on the high beam is broken, would it affect the use of the low beam?

thanks

No, if the high beam is burt out, the low would not be affected, and vice versa. Deffinetly sounds like a fuse. When you said you "checked the bulbs" did you visually check or swap in new bulbs? If you didn't try new bulbs. But it deffinetly sounds like a fuse if it is both right and left. Double/Tripple check all fuses. Under hood and in kickpanel.

Check the fuses and check the headlight switch (on the column stalk) . If no headlight works, I'd check the switch first.

Yep make sure all thats ok. Like said the high and low beams shouldn't effect each other.

i checked the fuse boxes and changed one of the lightbulb. But it still didn't work. being that i am an amateur with cars, i took it in to a mechanic to look at. the mechanic found the problem to be a bad connection at the relay. i don't think i would have been able to figure it out.....where is the relay, anyhow?

thanks for the info, everyone.
