Re: headlights not working

First, check the high beam lights.
If they work, the low beams are probably burnt out.
If they don't work, the problem may be with the fusible link #2. That is one of the fusible links at the power terminal next to the battery on the fender well. You can try wiggling them around while the light switch is on and may find out which one feeds the lights that way. It may flicker the lights on and off when you move the right one. Fusible links must be replaced and can be found at most auto parts stores. You need to buy a a matching size.

Re: headlights not working

You might be surprised how many people have had both lights go out at the same time. Check the power and ground at the bulb socket.
