hey guys quick question.. my hi beams aren't working. When I turn them on the headlights go out. Not sure whats going on. Maybe new bulbs? and help would be much appreciated !!

Sounds like a bulb, did both go out at the same time or maybe you didn't notice with only one being out?

Yeah I'll try replacing them. And I'm not sure because when I bought it the hi beams weren't working. Didn't know that before but oh welll

Do you have HID or halogen? Sounds like you might have a Bad High Beam Relay.

Check for Wiring issues,fuses. Your dash indicator is coming on in the car right? I assume so since the headlights go out which means the switch is good.

Yes just check all that. Think I found the problem, one of the bulbs has a broken filament inside.. Only one of them though. But both hi beams don't work. Gonna try and replace the bulbs
