Low beams not working, high beams only if you hold dimmer switch down on steering column. DRLs work fine.

Hello,

After verifying that your low beam bulbs are good, check the headlight relay.
That relay is located in the fuse block left side of the instrument panel (see diagram below).

Also you want to check the headlight connectors, make sure they are getting power. As there might a short somewhere.

Here are few helpful articles to get you started:

I have attached the headlight connector view as well as the wiring diagram for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
