Default EP3 Low beams not operational

Hey all. Its been awhile since ive been on this site since i sold my 03 coupe.. I recently bought an 03 Ep3 from one of my friends and everythings pretty much awesome.. except the low beams dont work.. I have brights and all my other electrical stuff works.. I tried using the search and didnt find anything on it so i apologise if i missed anything..

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks all!

EM2's had a recall on the light switch. They only recalled 01-03, my 04 lost low beams last year, so I went and bought a new switch at Vatozone for like $30. I got hi and lo lights now. Maybe you got the same problems?

Check the bulb and fuse first, if they are good then go replace the switch. Also have you checked the wiring on the low beams?

i checked on the recall and i guess it doesnt affect mine.. unless the guys at the honda dealership are lying to me.. which is possible theyre kinda not the best.

im going to go through the wiring sometimes this week to make sure thats cool.. i already checked the bulb and the fuse so im assuming its probably the switch but we should find out soon..

its taking me longer to get on top of this then i want right now as im extremely close to getting my sr20 into my s13 vert at the moment.. just finished the wiring on that yesterday. completely unrelated but im excited so i had to plug it a little

I went through everything and it ended up just being the headlight switch. I got it installed and all that fun stuff.. but now when i turn my blinkers on they dont turn themselves off after i turn anymore.

i went back and rechecked everything to make sure my wheel was straight and that plastic ring thats supposed to disengage them was out of the way and all..

does anyone know if its like that because its new or if i might have a faulty switch or if theyre just like that?
