My 99 subaru foresters headlights wont come on but the high beams and parking lights do. How can i fix it?

E: ADJUSTMENT
1. HEADLIGHT BEAM ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION:
Turn off the light before adjusting the headlight beam level. If it is necessary to inspect the beam level, do not keep the light on for two min- utes or more.
NOTE:
Before checking the headlight beam level, be sure of the following:
• Check the area around the headlight for any scratches, damage or other types of deformation.
• Make sure that the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
• Make sure that the inflation pressure of tires are correct.
• Make sure that the vehicle fuel tank is full.
1) Bounce the vehicle two to three times to normal- ize the suspension.
2) Make certain that someone is seated in the driv- er's seat.
3) Measure the distance between the low beam bulb centers, and the height of the bulb center

You gotta track down your short. Is it blowing a fuse?

Do you have the right battery installed? if not and it is a higher voltage, this will happen.

ALL headlights have vertical and horizontal adjustments. The vertical may be obvious, an M8 shaft. Horizontal may be non obvious, or the adjuster is covered with a rubber grommet. Once you've located the adjusters, find a wall eve on mall car park, and see the low beam to the same height. Check high beam, and a just the horizontal as needed.

go to an accredited auto electrician for electrical work
it may be a switch problem but I think that there is no power to the light relays ( switch or fuses)
if that model has a light control module , it could be that

The driver side headlight is dim. This is caused by loose
ground contact of the headlight ground terminal. Have
a check on this by tightening it up or reconnecting to
good ground (chassis).

Test to see if you have voltage at the bulb connector in low beam position. I'd almost bet that if there is no voltage there for the low beams that you have a bad high/low switch.

on each headlamp assembly, there will be either one or two plastic nuts that you can turn.

If you only have one nut on each, that will adjust the vertical aim of the headlights.

If you have two nuts on each, one will adjust the vertical and the other will adjust the horizontal.

Park your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same bulb, only do it for the lows)

If the headlights read VOR, then aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall. If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.

Check the Headlight Switch. If your headlights come on automatically check the headlight sensor and its associated relay.

You will need to look at the plug for the headlight. If it looks good, I would look for the headlight low beam fuse.
