HELP!!!! Lights - Toyota Yaris Forums

lbm323 · 01-26-2009, 08:44 PM

The headlights only work on either dim or on high beam. the normal lights stoped working. Has anyone experienced this and if so what was the problem? Fuse? bulb? Im trying to avoid the dealership so i wont have to pay expensive service fee.

Sounds like a fuse issue to me. If it were a bulb issue, then only one light would be off (or you have really bad luck)

What do you mean by dim? Do you mean the parking lights? Also, yeah, could it be possible that BOTH your bulbs went out at the same time? I know the chances of that seem really off.........

Yup, that's a fuse. My left headlight was dim, and the highbeam indicator was dimly lit as well. It was a fuse that cost me $100 (dang diagnostic test price).

Are you talking about "stock" bulbs? Check your fuses.....

Are they "aftermarket" bulbs....... look at the wires very carefully for meltdown.
