Honda Civic head light Low beam not working
i have a honda civic 2002 model, anyone ever run into this...
when i turn my headlights, only the parking lights come on (no low beams). i flick the high beam switch and the high beams work fine. i switch them off and the low beams don't come on.
i have tested the bulbs and fuses they work just fine, tried replacing the headlight switch but still haven't solved the problem.
any idea what could cause the problem?
