Any ideas?

Fogs and highbeams work but the reg lights (L&R) do not work?
Not sure what else to check b4 buying new bulbs?

Do not think bulbs are the problem but since the fuses and the connections are good...maybe???

Anyone? Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes, probably relay or fuse, but I'll tell you that I had a Civic once that both headlight bulbs died at the same time so it's possible.

hmm, check the bulb as well, make sure they didnt blow up, then check the connectors to make sure they are no fried, then check the relay

thanks
yeah, the 1st thing i did was check the fuse(s) under the hood
they are not broken???
damn minis are a pain in the ass to remove, right?

i saw the relay and unplugged it/replugged it
nothing

both (OEM) bulbs are connected
connetions are clean

so i am betting the relay may have some thing to do with this all?
check again today

what am i looking for???
or do i just need to get a new relay?

thanks

Did you check where the bulb itself connectors to it's connector. I had my bulbs go out and it was a melted connector for the bulb.

I lost both headlight bulbs at once just last month.
