Inner Low beam is out.. bulb is good, fuse is good.. what the heck is it?

The inner smaller H7 lights.. the bulb is fine, the fuse is good. I swapped fuses just in case and same for the bulb.. but it still doesn't work. No one touched the harness in any way, it just went out.

Any ideas on how i can check this myself? Anyone experience similar things? I'm sure you have but i need to be sure before i go and bend over at the dealer...

thanks

Are you talking about the H6W bulbs? Because mines are doing the same thing. Last night I took out my right bulb, plugged it back in, and then it didn't turn on (the light was working right before I unplugged it). So I did the same with my left bulb and now that one doesn't work either. I'm pretty sure the fuse still works. The high beams work it's just the low beams.

CLKmak,

I'm not positive if we're speaking about the same lights... H6W?

In the back of the owners manual book I 'thought' they were listed as parking lights, or as H6 as you said. I tried to find a place that sells these but no one did... When i removed the bulb it was actually an H7 bulb in there. The other side (which works fine) is an H7 bulb as well. So I'm not sure what's causing this.


Can anyone confirm the correct size of these bulbs? Are these infact the 'parking' lights?

Do you have xenons? Because I only got the halogen ones and there is a bulb right under the H7s. The knob for it is hella annoying to get to. The H7s are used for high beams and these are used for low beams.

I came in here to post the same thing. Discovered yesturday that there is a tiny H6 bulb under those H7s.. And it is infact out. I remember looking for it at local autostores but no one sold them. So at one place the guy tells me to go take out the bulb, I pulled the H7 out thinking that's the one

I also don't have Xenons.

I feel a lot better now.. i just have to find time to make my way out to the dealer to get this damn bulb.

$10 each from my local dealer. What a total rip off.
