Your high beams work but your low beams do not because the switch is broken that switches between high and low beams. Electrical switches wear out.


When do you use high beams?

High beams are just higher-powered/brighter headlights, so they are used when it is dark out, but only when no other vehicles are either in front of you going the same direction or coming from the other direction in the other lane. Usually high beams are used on highways where there are no street lamps, during the late hours of the night when there is little traffic. Also, if it is foggy out, high beams won't help visibility - that's what fog lights are for. Using high beams in fog will make visibility worse.

Why do high beams work but not low beams?

Low beams are normally used more than high beams, so are more likely to burn out first. Some vehicles use separate bulbs for the high and low beams, and some use a bulb with two filaments. In either case, the low beam usually burns out first, while the high beam continues to function. This problem can also be in the switch, but is usually in the bulb.
