My highbeam doesn't work!

Hi,

Does anyone know why my highbeam doesn't light up? I pullback on the knob and no light comes on. My lowbeam works fine. What's weird was that when I put the knob on the middle position and pullback on the knob, the lowbeam lights up. Any help would be nice...

Change your light bulbs with new ones.

FYI your car uses 9007 bulbs.

check your fuses as well, if its both bulbs odds are its either a fuse or the switch actually in the steering column is shot.

Remember our bulbs have 2 filaments, one is on with reg. beam, both turn on when you turn on high beam. tend to burn out quicker when you use your high beam often.

plus are both not working or just driver/passenger side?

Any recommendation on what 9007 bulbs are recommended? I bought the Silvania 9007 at autozone so I guess those are wrong bulbs?

Hmmm, what does it a dual filament look like? Mine looks just like a normal bulb. Oh yah, where in the fusebox do you check?

I'm having the same issue I had switched to LED lights and had been working fine hi and low. Just recently my high beams will not turn on. High beam fuses checked they was fine still replaced and nothing. Guessing it's the steering column switch since there is no headlight relay fuse ugh 😩.
