First guess would be fuses, then the light switch. Not sure but has the car ever had a retofit for the hight intensity lights? If all else fails the the voltage at each of the low beam bulbs contacts and see if the voltage is present - if it is then bad bulbs - other wise back to fuses (test to make sure - they can look ok but be bad), the switch then the wiring harness...

420 sel headlights

thnx for the response! I narrowed it down to the dimmer switch,as you said it might be! sprayed it real good with contact cleaner and it started working. i also fixed my d/side door window with some silicone spray. both of these suggestions came from this forum, So i might advise DIY's to read and search will save you a lot of time and $$$ thnx Paul
