Diagnosis

Troubleshooting

Neither high beam or low
beam light is working

1.All of bulbs have been damaged.
2.The fuse has been burned down.
3.Headlamp switch is faulty.
4.The circuit is faulty.

1.Replace the bulb.
2.Replace the fuse.
3.Inspect and replace the

headlamp switch.

4.Check the circuit.

Only one headlamp, that
is either the high beam or
low beam is working

1.The bulb has been damaged.
2.The fuse has been burned down.
3.The lamp holder or conducting

wire is faulty.

1.Replace the bulb.
2.Replace the fuse.
3.Check the lamp holder

or conducting wire.

Either side of the high
beam or low beam is not
working.

1.The bulb has been damaged.
2.The fuse has been burned down.
3.The headlamp switch is faulty.
4.The conducting wire or the

grounding is faulty.

1.Replace the bulb.
2.Replace the fuse.
3.Check the headlamp
switch.
4.Inspect the circuit.

Both headlamps are not
working.

1.The bulb has been damaged.
2.The fuse has been broken.
3.The headlamp switch is faulty.
4.The conducting wire or the

grounding is faulty.

1.Replace the bulb.
2.Replace the fuse.
3.Check the headlamp
switch.
4.Check the circuit.

Warning:

● The bulb will generate heat of very high temperature during working. So if the

surface of the bulb becomes dirty, the excessive heat will be accumulated, which
would result in shortening the life span of the bulb. When replacing the bulb, pay
attention to hold the metal edge rather than the bulb itself.
