I went to take the teener for a night drive and found that I don't have the low beams anymore. The high beams work fine. The only thing I did was to pull out the old antenna lead and put a new one in. I am looking for single point of failures since both lights don't work. One is the fuse (hich is good), second is ground (need to find and check that), and third is a relay (can someone point me to the correct relay). Any other thing I should be looking at?
TIA |

Actually there is a relay that controls the bright/dim function and if it's not working, either brights or dims are a no show. The relay is on top of the fuse panel with the others (round ones)...it should be rectangular, upper right if I remember correctly, as the fuse panel is hanging vertically. With your lights on, you should be able to hear and feel it click when you work the dimmer switch. Not sure that this is your problem, I'd check Lapuwali's suggestions first, but this caused similar problems on one of my cars. I think it's NLA but I found a VW part that worked.
