Please help. No headlights

[bruiser]

I have a 92 ES300 with no headlights, or foglights.

The taillights, blinkers and running lights all work so Im able to drive it during the day. As soon as the sun goes down Im pretty much forced to stay home. I checked the fuses and fromwhat I can see all are fine. Im not an expert on repairing cars so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe a kink somewhere along the harness. Get a mulimeter out and start probing.

gotta be a low beam fuse. ...dunno tho, if your high beams aren't working either. try replacing all of them regardless if they're blown or not.

they were working one day then the next night I turned them on and started driving. I noticed I couldnt see very well,so I got out and looked. No lights at all.running lights or parking lights are fine, Just the headlights,high and low.

I drive a 2nd-gen ES300 ('93), and I believe I have the same problem. My low-beams are not working at all, but my high beams are fine. Fuses are good, bulbs are good. My DRL work fine as well, and my parking lights / blinkers / etc. all work. Just suddenly stopped working one day after a drive up from 2 hrs south of my home.
Calling the guys at a parts store up here got me this suggestion: Try replacing or bypassing the "integrated relay". I believe the headlights are all on a relay, but the integrated relay is what shuts your lights off automatically when you open your driver door, even if they're all the way on.
My questions are as follows, for anyone who has ideas:
- Does the Camry of the same year / gen have said integrated relay? Can I snag one from a Camry in an auto wrecker up here?
- Is this really the case? I know I'm just resurrecting a question no one really had an answer to, but hey - maybe someone's learned something in the meantime?

Help is appreciated.

i would say prope the wires, or check for rust. I had a similar issue on my RX and found out that some of the wires got in contact with water and began rusting out. Good luck. I paid 455 at a local lexus dealership just for the low beams alone.

I can't really answer the question about the integration relay; however, if it is working in highbeam, then the integration relay should be functioning, since it powers to head light relay, which powers both high and low beams. The high beams goes through the DRL circuits to ground, while the low beams go directly to ground. And they seem to use the same grounding point. I would suggest check for power and ground at the high light bulb connectors, not very often, both headlight low beam can burnt out at the same time.

N.E.O.
