| Both headlights on the low beam setting failed to work. high beams worked as they should. fuses, headlight switch, parking brake switch, and relays checked out ok. the assumption is that a voltage spike burned out the low side of the bulbs at the same time without blowing any fuses. this was discovered during the day rather than at night. *tr | |||
