Default c3 headlights?

Group:

Hoping you can give me ideas I have a c3-74, the problem is that my
headlights don't light.

They flip up, I see the side lights, rear lights..but no lights from front..

Any ideas
Thanks

Did you check the obvious things like the fuse, power at the switch,
grounds at the lights, power at the lights, etc.?

ME: do they open? do the other lights come on?

Probably the contacts in the headlight switch.

And while you're checking things, don't forget the high beam
switch...that can kill the lights.
