Default Help with headlights

I have a A4 1996 and when i turn my head light on everything comes on except my headlight. I can flash my high beams but my headlights done come on. I think it maybe be a headlight relay but i am not sure. If someone shed some light on what is going on ir how i can fix this.


Thank you

it would be odd like that for both headlights to go out...have your headlights ever worked?....if they just "went out" its probably in the wiring because as headlights "go out" they get dimmer and dimmer

Do you know english? The relay that controls the hi beams and low beams are the same one so the relay is out. Take the hi beam out and plug it into the low beam and see if it works (if both of them are halogen)
Do you have zenon lights? Do you know what that is?

Zenons are different from the hi beams, and are generally blue in color when you first turn them on and much much brighter.
