Check the headlight switch assembly too. I had a problem where my driver side headlight would randomly stop working. It turned out to be the switch. You can take it apart and fiddle with the brass contacts, or get another from the scrap yard. I did this and it's been fine for years now.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I tried to do all of that stuff. Nothing.

It doesn't make sense to me why the high-beams work perfectly fine but the lowbeams don't. Is it possible both low beam bulbs burnt out? It has to be a switch/connection or something. Now the lowbeams are not coming on at all, car running or not. And it gets dark at like 5PM now

BTW the parking lights work though

Let me ask a question...while the vehicle is running and headlights are on, if you goose the gas do the headlights get brighter and then dimmer? If not, my best guess is a switch....they are parts that are designed to wear out....I would hop down to the local pick and pull and swap test with another one

Yesterday the headlights ran on low beams for 90 minutes straight of driving. They were fine. Came home, parked in the garage, went back out an hour later, and no low beams. Wtf

Ok guys so get this..

I drove the car about 3 hours today to and from a show in western PA. It was fine.

On the way home though, out of no where, all the lights got brighter: this includes the gauge cluster lights, the interior dome light, and the headlights too. The wipers also ran a lot faster than I'm used to (it rained a bit for a moment). But here's the thing: the heater stopped working! On all settings 1-4.

I have no idea WTF is going on.
