Both my high beam headlights are not working. Replaced both headlights. Anything else I can check before replacing the switch?

    Check the headlight connector terminals for power and ground with a meter or testlight. If there's a problem with either circuit, trace the wiring to the groundpoint and check for for power at the correct switch terminals before replacing it. It could well be the switch, but I like to know what's actually wrong before I throw expensive parts into a car.
