    Help please(headlights)

    I am new here and dont have much knowledge about E30's but love these little cars..Make a long story short i have major headlight issues. I have a 87 vert. When i got the car low beams did not work and when put on the high beams all lights came on. Just yesterday my high beams when out also these are sealed beams... :-(. I was so looking forward going to GutenFest on Sunday.. But if i dont have any working lights going to be a little risky. Maybe a Day trip. I am about 4-5 hours away.

    Things i have done so far, checked all fuses and changed the relays, change the light switch.. I had a freind come over and he jumped the lights thru the fuses and they came on. I hope im making a little sense. Also fogs dont work.

    Any help is appreciated and if anyone has a temp solution until i get these fixed?

    Thanks

    So what's actually broken, now? Do the lows work, but not the highs? And what do you mean by "he jumped the lights through the fuses?"

      Start with new low beam bulbs and take it from there, at least that way you've eliminated a link in the chain of problems. The lows are dual filament so when all for came on you were seeing the high beams as per normal.
