I have '90 JDM S13 with the triple projectors and last night al the low beams suddenly stopped working. High beams, corner lamps, gauge cluster, and everything else is fine.

I checked these:

But they look fine. Does "H/Lamp" infer "High/Lamp"? Are there other fuses that may specifically be for the low beams? (Search results were futile and I don't have all day to keep digging so I'm hoping someone might have a quick answer.)

Check the stalk, they're known to go bad

Thanks. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but I lost electrical power on my way home from work yesterday. It seems like the alternator wasn't charging the battery. (It would start after 'resting' for a few minutes then would die within a mile or two.) She's at the tuner now. I'll pass along your advice.

I got her from Japan a couple years ago and she's been rock solid ever since. I'm not even mad, as this was a regular occurrence with my Evo X.

I guess I'm officially a Nissan owner now!

giant brakes are neat.

I would also double check your grounds on the front headlight harness area. I had a similar issue and mine was due to a ground. Could be possible there's corrosion on a ground causing them not to work because of bad connection and just require cleaning.
