Default Headlight Problem

Both of my headlights went out so I looked at the fuses and they were fine so I tried to turn the brights on and the light on the dash wouldn't even light up. So I changed both of the headlights and checked the fuses again still nothing. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check your wiring harness and plugs for frayed wires, bent prongs or loose / fallen out wires.

Atleast I managed to fix the problem!
The fusebox wire to the headlights were loose on the backside of the fusebox... had to be a lot of heat there becuse a tiny plastic bit had meltet.

Um, perhaps the large amount of wire between the fuse box and headlight? Specifically the gray plug that connects your headlight to the main harness.

check for a signal from the harness to the bulb socket for continuity with a multi-meter. if you have one then move on to the next stretch of wires.
