Low Beams not working
Hi Everyone, I am not sure if this has been posted yet, but I took my car in to get inspected, and the low beams are not working. The high beams do work, and they tried swapping out the headlights. It is on both sides that the low beams don't work. They think it is an electrical issue. They have had my car over night now, and still can't figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there something I should be asking the mechanics? I am just afraid it is something simple, and I am going to end up paying hundreds for it. If this helps I have an 08 Yaris Liftback, I have never had a problem until now. any help anyone could give would be very much appreciated.

I bet it's just the bulbs. When just one dies you really don't notice it, but once both are out you obviously do.

Well I just a call, after all that, they replaced the bulbs again, and it worked. Everything is fine. Thank you everyone for all your help! I am just so glad it wasn't something more serious!

Mine did that too, and the dealership looked at the fuses LAST (which it was just the fuse)! Then proceeded to charge me 108 bucks because they blamed it on my aftermarket foglights. uhhh, wtf!?
