headlights not working

both went out same time this morning.. dash lights still work so im assuming its the fuse. the fog lights or whatever down the bottom still work too.

however i pulled out every one of the smaller fuses in the engine bay and none seem to be blown?

looking at this diagram

a.) im not sure which one headlights are.. "14. 40A Lamp"?
b.) i cant read the numbers anyway

which fuse should it be?

them are the big ones that are bolted in...
they have a little clear plastic lid... but theyre usually fogged up
but u can open that little lid to see the fuse...

how many times have i told u to get out noob

put a mutimeter between terminals of bulb, you cannot look at the filament and come to the conclusion the bulb is blown.

in the end both my connectors had burnt out.. due to previous owner having 100W bulbs in there

so i replaced the bulbs and wired up some new connectors and all good

18afre: do you make sure not to touch the glass with your fingers when u are installing them? and do you get good quality 55W bulbs?

they are std HB3 and HB4 connectors and u can get these from amny places or wrecks and just cut the old one off. Should take 10min to install if u have a clue, just wire them up the correct way.

As for touching the glass, thats correct the sh*t on your fingers then the heat does some stuff ( was told once) I think it eats into the glass but to tell u the truth I have before and nothing bad happened hehe.

just some normal HB3 and HB4s would be ok. Unless u want HID.
