Low Beams Do Not Work, BUT High Beams Do Work

PLEASE HELP! I have a 2001 Prelude. My low beams do not work, but my high beams work. I have replaced the bulbs and still the low beams do not work. I have checked the fuses and they are fine. Any ideas????

the easy way to get the low beam back is switch the connectors. disconnect low, connect high to low

Do you have a volt meter and a wire diagram, does your library have a haynes manual, buy one, make sure it has a wire diagram.

Check to see that the lights are getting voltage. See if there is a voltage drop in the wire(s).

I have a feeling the headlight switch that you use to turn them on is bad.

i had the same problem in my fourth gen.........my bulb harness(the thing you plug the bulb into was corroded and the negative terminal got disconnected just pull on the wires connecting to the bulb and make sure they are good if not go to advanced and buy a new harness
