    how do you take out a relay? my low beams don't work.

    I saw a thread somewhere of someone who had the same problem. my low beams don't work, but when i pull on the hi-beams, all 4 of them turn on.

    someone said it might be the relay so i printed up the diagram and i wanted to try taking out the relay...but i have no idea how to take it out. i struggled with that thing for 10 minutes, but i couldn't get it to budge. is there a special process involved? I thought you just pulled them out like fuses!

    if that doesn't work, could it be a burnt filament or something else?

    thanks

    Low beams are dual filament too. Sealed beams new are $6ea at Autozone. Just go get new ones and see if that works.

      you do just pull them out - but they can be real hard to get a grip on. try a drift or flathead from one end and pry up carefully- but make sure that the power is off first.

      the first time I took one out, it was 20 minutes with a needlenose pliers before I got smart.
