Exclamation Help! Headlights wont turn on!!

Headlights on my 97 SC300 wont come on. The parking lights and tail lights work fine. I tried to see if it was the Headlight Relay under the hood. Tried 3 different Relays still doesnt work. They worked when I picked my car up from the dealer after having a Seruity Module replaced but even then they wouldnt shut off with the relay in and the Relay made a buzzing sound when it was plugged in.

Please help! I search all over CL and Google and I cant find out what the issue is.

Maybe both bulbs burned out at the same time. Not common to happen but it still can.

I would say your integration relay is broken if SC has one. I had the same problem in my Soarer. Do this:

If you want to "bypass" the integration relay you have to cut one wire that goes to light switch and connect the switch side end to another wire. You need a multimeter to figure out right wires.

Are your hi beams working if you flash them? Mine did work although low beams didn't.
