lights

Guys quick question. Why is it that I blew my headlight bulb after 6months and only one comes on but if I put the high beams on then both lights come on. I know we only have one bulb. Why does it go on? Also how do people like nokya bulbs?

Because our headlight bulbs have 2 filaments.. one for high and one for low... if you blow one of the filaments you dont necessary blow the other.

If you take a closer look at the filaments inside the bulb there are 2...one for low beam and other high beam....your low burned out

well, also, it can be that one of the fuses is blown. I know this because when I was modding, i noticed that a fuse was blown, and only one would go on high, one low, one on/off, and all sorts of combos. it was kinda cool until night time came... so check fuses.
