    Hey guys

    Long story short.I left my house with my headlights working. By time i got to my destination my high beams were on. thought this was weird so tried to figure out how to turn head lights back on. But I couldn't.

    Dash display doesn't light up, parkers don't come on. and when I turn the headlights on, it's stuck on high beam.

    this is weird :/

    Any help please :) thanks in advance

    You have a fuse in the drivers footwell out.

    Clearance illumination fuse. 10amp.

    Replace it and see if it does it again.

    Interesting, i just assumed that if it were a fuse, that only my headlights would of gone out or something.
    Thanks again for your help. I can once again drive safely at night :)
