Headlight Problem (No DRL or Low Beams)

[rockymount1]

I have a 1999 Canadian Boxster. My front DRLs are out and I have no low beam headlights. I do have tail lights and the high beams work (in fact both bulbs on both sides come on with the high beams on). I have pulled the double relay thinking that I would just disable the DRLs and the low beam head lights would work, but this didn't work.

I also checked fuses 9 and 10 on Row A and both are good.

Any suggestions of what it might be?

I think your car is homesick for Canada.

If someone does not come up with an answer this may be another Peter question..

May be a silly question. But there are 2 double relays. The other one is for the top. Are you sure you pulled the correct relay?

I’m very embarrassed; :huh: as you can tell from my first post I checked everything but the bulbs. I pulled both lights and guess what both burnt out within the same day (probably the same hour, since they must have burnt out on my way to work which takes an hour).

Anyway, please forgive me.

Replaced the bulbs in about 10 minutes and presto. I guess they really burn even, must be a good sign about the voltage to each bulb.

Toolpants; Yes I have a double relay and that is the part I pulled. Not sure I won't pull it since DRL have little purpose on my normal commute thru the mountains and the bulbs would last longer. I did call the local dealer to see if they carried the relay and they would have to order it. At $54.00, that is one expensive relay.
