Those lights are on different circuits. The high and low beam lights are powered thru the headlight switch, the turn signals, brake, and hazards go thru the turn signal switch.
I would want to know if each circuit has power at the switch that controls it.

SOURCE: head lights not working

check your relays, they are like big fuses in your engine compartment, if your low beam and high beam relays are the same model, switch them and see if this enables low beams and disables the high beams. if it not the relays, or fuses, then it is probably your wiring harness, an expensive repair.

SOURCE: low beams dont work, only high beams do. 02 tacoma

If there is power there, then it has to be the bulbs. The trouble that most people have is, they don't see how both bulbs could burn out at once... and they're right. They don't. But you see vehicles with one headlight all the time. They don't know it unless you tell them or they happen to see it themselves. Then the second light burns out, and they think it's a major catastrophe, when in fact, it's just bulbs. The high beam still works because the bulb is double filament. The only other thing it can be is the dimmer switch, and since you switched it to high, it appears to be working. However, if it's not bulbs, it still could be the switch.

I have a problem with the low beams on my headlights. The high beams works just fine. All of the other lights(turn signal, emergency lights, etc.) work except for the low beams.

Check the fuses first. then replace the turn signal switch if all fuses are good. All the lights run threw it, except the high brake light on the rear.

seems you have several different problems. High beam working and no low beams=dimmer switch is bad. Reverse lamp not working=bulb socket bad,wiring broke,bad ground at back
Brake light on drivers side stuck on=brake light switch

Chevy Venture 99 low beams don't work but high beams always working

I just bought a 1998 C/K 3500 Chevrolet crew cab dually and the previous owner installed (white) driving lights on the front lower bumper. The fuse was blown and they don't work. I live in Virginia...

wire a relay parallel into the low beam light power wires
run a fuse controlled wire from the battery to the relay
when in low beam the relay activates to turn on the lights
when in high beam there is no power to activate the relay so the lights go out
If you read the regulation carefully , you will see that is also required to have a separate on/off switch for the lights

1999 Chevy Siverado, no daytime running light lights and a constant dinging or chiming noise. Checked fuses and they all appear good.

Hi :) When your Day time running lights don't come on that could be one of the High beam bulbs are burned out or the emergency brake is on just anought to turn off the day time running lights which is the way they should work but some people don't reallize that the lighting system is ment to work like that.

Low beams on '99 chevy half ton pick up don't work

It is possible both low beams are out and you didn't notice until the second one failed. Have you tried to reset the lights with the dashboard switch?

Running day lights,

I had a similar problem with my 2001 dodge 3500, the first thing I would check is to make sure that you in fact have high beams working when the light switch is turned on. The DR Lights use the high beam element of the headlamp and if they are burnt out then the DR lights won't be working. My problem was that I had no low beam headlights and everything else was working, turns out both low beam elements were burned out at the same time, replaced the bulbs and all was well. If this does not solve the problem then see if you can get a wiring diagram for the vehicle and go from there. It would seem strange that both of my elements burned out at the same time but that is exactly what happened.

hope this helps
