check the headlight relay for the low beams could be bad, change it with one that is the same from the relay/fuse panel to see if it works and if it does then go get a new relay if not follow to make sure there is power and ground to operate the relay and make sure there is power coming into the relay that is supposed to be switched good luck

As the history probably has nothing to with the problem, make sure all relays and fuses are good... But chances are the problem is most likely as simple as a faulty headlamp switch...

I’m having an Issue with the headlights not coming on at all. Ever since I purchased the Jeep in 2015 I’ve had an issue with the headlights only staying on when I shut them off. It was a little annoying but not a real problem they would shut off if I turned them on the off again. But now I have just replaced my front bumper cover and now the headlights won’t turn on at all. It’s just the headlights not the parking lights. The parking lights work as they should. I’m thinking it’s the headlight switch but now I second thinking that. Am I right or is there other things I should be looking at?
