Headlight trouble

Last night my low beam didn't light the way to go home ! The side marker are ok
The hight beam ok but no light with low beam . Since few days i smell a " burn odor " with hight beam on . Is it a rotten headlight switch ? Rotten relay ?
Thanks for your help .

Re: Headlight trouble

I assume both low beams failed, and both high beams worked? I would suspect the dimmer switch on the floor. It's not uncommon to fail and pretty easy to replace. There's no headlight relay unless you added one (which is a great idea).


BTW, welcome to the boards!
