Both our low beam lights went out at the exact same time. Our dash light has been dim for a few months, and we recently replaced the brake lights.
The high beams work, but the high beam signal does not show up (on the dashboard) now.
Can you tell me what this might be?
Thank you

Check the DRL relay, behind dash, right of steering column.

As both low beams and high beam indicators are not working, the only common item able to caus the problem would be the DRL relay.

Thank you.
We actually went ahead and bought two bulbs for the low beam lights, and they seem to be working now. We were thrown off because the indicator light when the high beams were on was not working either.
Once we replaced the two bulbs, it is working again too.
Guess we're good for now.
Thanks.
Also, this is the first time I've used this site. Do I have to do anything for you to get the $5 donation? If so, please let me know. If not, thanks again.
