280 Headlight problem
Need guidance on a 1969 280SE with a lighting problem. The headlights operate on high beam but nothing on Low beam. Any suggestion on what should be the order of things to check?

Start w/ fuses. High and low beams have separate circuits.

YOu sure the low beams are not just shot? They always go first.

I don't have experience with that specific vehicle but in general look at:
Fuse, fuse clip/socket, clean/replace the fuse lamps, sockets/connectors ground(s) relay? switch That should cover it. Mike
