quick car question - headlights

[trevorjk]

so i had a headlight burn out, had a replacement, so i put it in and all works great.

but my question is this. how comes when my light burned out, i had brights, but no low-beams? it runs on the same bulb right?

[guseppe16]

Same bulb yes, but different filaments within the bulb. The low beams are usually used more often, so they burn out quicker.

so it is basically 2 bulbs in 1? if so, then now i know

[Lohman446]

Yes, remember to not touch the glass part of the new bulb. Even the smallest amount of oil from your skin will damage the bulb.
