Is it possible to fix a bad low beam headlight?įortunately, fixing a bad low beam is a straight forward process in the majority of vehicles that can be done by most people without just a few hand tools. I brought the car in to Ford for inspection, they tested the harness and it seems ok. I replaced the bulb (I had been using the OEM style, these are not LED) but it did not fix the issue. Recently my 2013 Ford Escape SEL started displaying a Low Beam fault message on the dashboard. Why is the low beam not working on my 2013 Ford Escape?
You do not need to purchase specific bulbs for each side, but identifying which is the blown out bulb will help you to replace it without having to start the vehicle again. If the high beam on the same side is also out, it may be one bulb. Be careful not to drop the bulb as you remove it from the package. Protect your bulb from this by wearing gloves or using a tissue any time you come into contact with the glass of the new low beam headlight bulb. The oil on your hands can compromise the glass of the bulb, reducing its lifespan. Thanks! What can cause the light to be dim except when on the high beam setting? What to do if you drop a low beam light bulb? If there is no power reaching them, there is a break in the wiring somewhere between the fuse panel and the headlights themselves. If it is, use a voltmeter to see how much power, if any, is reaching the headlights. What can cause a low beam headlight to be dim?
Do you need to replace both high and low beams? The bulbs have less than 100 hours on them. I swapped the relay and that was not the problem. We apologize for this headlight concern you’re experiencing! The GMCs have a shutter that covers the bulb slightly in low mode and when in high mode the shutter moves up out of the way and exposes the whole bulb to shine through the projector lenses. The high and low is only 1 bulb per side. How many bulbs are in a GMCs high and low?į.Y.I.
