Arrow "Bright Lights" Light Not Turning On~!

last night i was listening to my radio and the car died on me..
i wasn't able to start it until my friend gave me a push start and i got it started.

now today i was driving at night and my bright lights were on the whole time, but the actual light displaying your bright lights were on was off.

any solution..?
dead bulb,wiring,problem since i got a push start?

could be a bad bulb or a bad connection on the switch, unhook ur battery and then hook it back up and then try it,

im assuming your talking about the highbeam light that lights up on your cluster when you have your highbeams on. did you notice any other lights not comming on? turn the car off and turn the key to the on possition halfway, what other lights come on or dont come on that used to. it could be a burt out bulb, fuse, short in wiring... with the car dying, that sounds like you need to check into the alt.

just pull your cluster out and replace the bulb in it. not a big deal, but while your doing it, you might as well read the DIY and convert them all to L.E.D.

lol its not rly more money, plus it looks 50099786492739438503582967 times better, and its custom, not alot of people have it. And L.E.D's are mad cheap for the bulbs. like 30 cents haha
