Why are both the high and low beams of Jinbei headlights not working?

[KimberlyLee]

Jinbei front headlights both high and low beams not working reasons are as follows: the bulb may be damaged and should be replaced. The high beam combination switch may have malfunctioned and needs to be replaced. Poor contact in the wiring behind the headlights, unplug the wire connector and clean it with an eraser before reconnecting. Below is an introduction to the functions of car lights: Car headlights: used for road illumination during nighttime driving. High beams: high-angle and long-distance illumination to improve visibility and expand the field of view. Width indicator lights: indicate the width of the vehicle to alert other drivers. Width indicator lights are used during evening driving to make the vehicle visible to others. Low beams: low-angle and short-distance illumination to clearly distinguish objects, with a clearly visible illuminated area of 2-3 meters in diameter on the ground. The area from the beam cutoff line to 30-40 meters mainly relies on ground-reflected light, where brightly colored objects can be distinguished, but stationary dark-toned objects on the road are less noticeable.

I've been repairing cars for over twenty years, and issues like this with Jinbei are nothing new. When both high and low beams go out completely, it's most likely a blown fuse or a burnt-out bulb. First, check the fuse box to see if the corresponding fuse shows any signs of blackening—if it's blown, replace it with a new one. A short circuit in the wiring can also be the culprit, possibly due to loose connections or rodent damage cutting off the current. If the relay is faulty, the headlights may flicker once and then go out—this requires testing with a multimeter to check for continuity. Don’t forget to inspect the alternator’s voltage stability; excessive voltage can easily burn out bulbs. I advise against DIY repairs to avoid electric shock—just take it to a certified repair shop for a safe and hassle-free fix, preventing any roadside incidents that could affect the entire vehicle's electrical system.

Last time I was driving my Jinbei on the highway at night, the headlights suddenly went completely dark, which almost scared me to death. After pulling over, I called a friend for help and found out it was a blown fuse. A slight pull revealed blackened traces, and replacing it with a new one restored the lights. Burnt-out bulbs are also common, especially in hot seasons when filaments are prone to break. When there's poor contact in the wiring, the lights may flicker between bright and dim, so it's necessary to check for corroded connectors. If the relay is failing, it's more troublesome and requires a visit to the repair shop. This experience taught me how crucial it is to check the headlights before driving, especially for long trips—don't cut corners. Keep a few spare fuses for emergencies and avoid taking big risks at night.

I love tinkering with my car myself, and I can fix the Jinbei headlight not working on my own. After turning off the power, first remove the headlight bulb to check if the filament is broken—if it is, just replace it with a new one. If a fuse is blown, you can check the fuse box by feeling it; if it's blackened or burnt, it's blown, so try replacing it with the same model. If there's a wiring issue, use a multimeter to test the continuity of the circuit—short circuits aren't hard to find. For relay faults, tap it to see if there's any response. Doing it yourself saves time, but remember to wear insulated gloves to prevent electric shock.

Driving safety is paramount. If both high and low beams fail at night, it's extremely dangerous. Immediately turn on the hazard lights and slowly pull over without hesitation. The cause is often a blown fuse or a short circuit cutting off power—check the fuse box first. A faulty relay or switch is more complicated and may cause complete failure. Always inspect bulb lifespan and wiring connections during maintenance—prevention is better than cure. If lights go out while driving, don't risk continuing; contact professional repair immediately to ensure family safety.

My Jinbei has run 80,000 kilometers, and the headlights also had this issue before—both high and low beams wouldn't light up. First, check if the fuse is blown; the fuse box is easy to locate. Loose wiring connections are common, especially with Jinbei models, as their wiring tends to age quickly. If the bulb is burnt out, you can tell by pulling it out and seeing the broken filament. When the relay fails, the light controls malfunction, and you'll need to replace it at a 4S shop. I solved the problem by replacing the relay, which didn't cost much. I advise Jinbei owners to regularly clean dust from the wiring connections and check the headlight condition to save on major repair costs.
