When I switch between high and lo beams, each works fine, except the lo beams go out when I switch to high. (Only inside beams are on when high beams are on).

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I think your headlites are working normally. I have an older GM vehicle out front, different year make and model, though. Those headlites work the same way, the inside beams are high, the outside beams are low. They don't burn at the same time.

The wiring diagram for your headlites, appear to show the same thing. When the selector switch is on high beam, no voltage to the low beam circuit.

Really? That would be great, seeing as how I have to get the car inspected. I could have sworn all 4 lights came on when I switched to high beams before.

I suppose if they want to fail it due to only the inside lights coming on for high beams, I'll tell them that's they way it's always been.

Thanks.
