2006 Envoy XL low beam headlights will not come on at all. Went to Auto Zone and change the bulbs...still will not come on. Two weeks ago Pep Boys put in a new ignition stating the original one had sign of burning coil wire. Since then there is a little beep when I turn off ignition and now my low beam headlamps don't work. HELP

CHECK INSIDE YOUR FUSE BOX (USUALLY LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD). LOOK FOR THE RELAYS THAT CONTROL THE HEADLAMPS. TRY TO CHANGE PLACES WITH THE ONE'S THAT THE NUMBER MATCHES. GENERAL MOTORS SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THESE. THE LOCATOR PICTURE WILL BE INSIDE THE LID COVERING THE FUSE PANEL BOX.

SOURCE: headlights alternate on and off left and right daytime/high beam

although the underhood relay panel is common, I'd check your headlamp bulbs first, these are cheaper than the fuse box. The daytime running lights work off the high beam circuit, thus, a blown highbeam bulb could be the culprit, the fusebox solution was more common on 2001 and up modles, although it's a definite possibility.

SOURCE: left low beam is out on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 4.7

I'd still vote for the bulb being bad. The high and low beams use two different filaments, so unless the bulb is physically broken, it is common for the low beam to be bad whilst the high beam is good.

That's why you see some people driving around with their high beams on -- they don't want to get stopped for a 'light out' citation..

When you take the bulb out to replace it, be sure to look at how it is mounted before removing. You don't want to accidently adjust your headling out of kilter.

good luck

SOURCE: One of my Headlight not working during low beam

replace both headlight bulbs
each bulb has two filiments inside the bad bulb has a burned out filiment but, they should be replaced as a pair
and, do not touch the glass with your fingers
the oil from your fingers can cause the bulb to fail

SOURCE: low beam headlights do not work

try the lights with the tilt wheel in the up position. If the low beam works then, a wire has pulled out of the connector on the mutipurpose switch inside the steering column. remove the covers behind the steering wheel on the column and there is a large multi wire plug with many wires. it should be obvious which wire has pulled out or broken.

Where is fuses for headlights located for 1991 Honda LX

Hello Jeff, I've seen this before, a while back on a Pontiac Sunbird. A friend called me with the same issue as you. I did come checking of (looking for low resistance using a ohm meter) the low-beam elements, both were open (no resistance, which comes from the little spiral wire just like a regular light bulb). This is what I believe happened to you. One headlight went out previously but still having one that worked you didn't really notice. You did notice however when the last and only low-beam filament went out and this lead you to believe (as did my friend) that both went out together. You probably need to change both bulbs. Check first each low-beam, unplugged of course with a ohm meter to confirm. I favor those bluish bulbs, got mine at Pep Boys (Pilot brand?). You can see better with those in my honest opinion.

2003 GMC Envoy low beam head lights will not come on. The bulbs are not blown, fuse's ok, no power coming to the head light connector. minimal power to the fuse compartment with fuse removed. 9 to 10...

The problem is a Headlight module. Fuse box under the hood has two black modules side by side, the one on your right is the headlight module the one on the left is the fan module. Try swapping them, if the headlights work replace bad module, don't drive vehicle with the bad module in the fan slot. Mine kept going bad because I had a high intensity bulb on one side.

How do you change the front headlight

Best to go to auto zone or pep boys they will do it for free if you buy the bulb from them.

Low beam on 2006 trailblazer quit working but have high beam

probably just a burnt out bulb. You do not have to replace the whole headlight as on older vehicles , just the small bulb inside.
I would hope that your friendly local chevy dealer would be happy to do it for just the cost of the bulb. Also some parts stores like pep boys or autozone will help customers out with quick easy fixes like that.

Change headlight

open the hood - and locate the back of the light -
these units have bulbs. Many times if you buy the bulb the shop will replace it free -
I suggest you take you vehicle into an Auto Zone - or Pep Boys if you have it there - or Advance Auto - but Pep Boys has a shop so they are my number one choice for you -- and they will most likely do the work free - - just buy the bulb from them or pay a small amount for them to put yours in.

Changed low beam headlamp and the bulb tries to ignite then goes out. Tried two very expensive lamps with the same result. Is there a lamp controller or ballast or igniter that might be bad?

No. However there is a relay not shure if its located in the fuse box or next to it in the relay pannel. It could be bad or just corroded.A Chiltons manuel available at most auto parts stores will give the location.

I have a 2004 Envoy XL. The passenger side dim headlamp went out about 2 weeks ago and I replaced it. On Friday, I was leaving a meeting and I noticed my neither one of my headlamps were on, then I hit a...

This sounds like a loose connection/bad wire somewhere for the low beam lights. Can't really give you more information without seeing the vehicle, and wiring diagram for the circuit. Usually, things that go on and off when hitting bumps are connection/wiring problems. The fact that one of your low beam headlamps burnt supports this theory. Bad connections or wiring mean lower voltage, thus higher amperage at the bulb, motor or whatever it's running, which makes them burn a lot quicker.
