Headlights won't turn on
So get this, my wife takes the xB out last night for some shopping, the headlights work the first place she goes to, she comes out, and they won't turn on.
The parking lights come on, you can turn the high beams on but the headlights will not turn on, I checked the fuses, and I checked one bulb its not burnt out.
So why would they not turn on, I hope its not the toggle in the car because I am sure that will cost a bunch.
Any ideas?

Wiring diagram. It's there.

Crap, you're right. Then it's either the switch or faulty wiring. If you know what your doing you can go through it with a multimeter and see if a wire is broken and if the switch. Otherwise visually inspect the wiring, it could be something stupid like a partially disconnected harness.

well I got the switch , it did not work, they still do not turn on I checked the sockets there is power, to the brights not for the headlights though, I guess I will go with getting a bulb and seeing if that is it, it would be amazing that both went out at the same time, if that is not it I guess I would go with the relay, but that makes no sense either

Even if it's not the case, it's worth checking out.

The relay may not be completely gone. I had the same problem with my running lights, except they would randomly come on when the car was shut down. The relay tested good, but it turned out that there were power fluctuations.
Even if it's not the case, it's worth checking out.

Well I guess the lesson for myself here is keep it simple stupid, though being that both lights went out at the same time was amazing and well..... it turned out it was just the bulbs, I was trying to get a relay from the local auto-parts stores and none of them had it. So I thought what the hell I will by a cheap bulb and see if that it. Ding!! it lit. Sheesh well I said that the next time my silver stars went out I was going to get HID's so that is what I am going to do, any suggestions on a vendor to by the HID's from?
