I am trying to help a friend sell a 2004 325Cic. I got elected to help because I have a similar car. It belonged to his recently deceased father. It needed some minor body work and after returning from the body shop I noticed the dash was showing the headlights as inop. Sure enough, the low beams are not working. All the other lights are working. I do not remember seeing this on the dash before the trip to the body shop. According the the new car sticker, they are halogen lamps.

I was hoping there was a dedicated fuse for the low beams but that doesn't seem to be the case. Where would you start looking? I asked and the body shop said they did not have the headlights out. The car is six years old but has very few miles (6,700 -- not a typo), so I don't suspect the bulbs -- especially both failing at once.

We're hoping to sell it quickly but this isn't something I don't feel good about putting on the new owner.

Thanks..........Bill

What body work was done?

If he had halogen lights, checking for bad bulbs takes seconds. They pop out really easy, and you can see if they're burned right away.

Please see this classified ad. I can answer questions about the car better there. Thanks.....Bill

He has halogens. Just pull them out and check the bulbs. Easy peasy.

I didn't want to believe it was bulbs but it is on at least one side. The other side isn't so easy to get at. The bulb is a 55w H7. Is Autozone, etc a decent source? Thanks..........Bill

Yeah you can get H7 bulbs anywhere, even WalMart. I take it the passenger side is the *****y one? It is on my sedan too.
