Default The auxiliary headlight has stopped working

I already tested the bulbs, and the switch. The warning lamp on the switch lights, but the panel does not. There are no broken fuses.

Jeez....the amount of informatio you posted to troubleshoot "your headlight" is overwelming.....
What type? Tungsten or LED?
Is it one or both?
Did you switch the headlights to see if it's the "Bulb" portion that is the culprit?
Did you make sure the plugs arefully engaged/tight?

Just a few questions that would help us in helping you.....

Hello Giacomo, thank's to answer me.


What type? LED
Is it one or both? Both
Did you switch the headlights to see if it's the "Bulb" portion that is the culprit? No, LED original.
Did you make sure the plugs arefully engaged/tight? Yes I checked.

I am thinking that one of the wires has come loose on one of the connectors...make sure they are seated correctly.....two wires running to the lights a power and a ground....make sure they are firmly seated...
If you can bypass the switch...it might be bad and make sure the connector is seated into the switch...
