Headlight assistance
Greeting gents. Been awhile so I can use a refresher. Just got my whip back on the road and front headlights won’t work but the high beams do. It’s been years since I’ve worked on the car and can use a pointer as to where to start to fix this sucker . Any info greatly appreciated

Assuming the bulbs are known good.....
Clean the fuses in the headlight fuse box....the one in the engine bay. The metal end caps often corrode....as do the clips in the fuse box that hold the fuses.
Next clean the connections at the headlights themselves
Next clean the headlight grounds....which are the vertical panel on either side of the radiator, facing towards the front
Post back if problem persists
Cheers

Cleaned connections and still not working.
I changed and cleaned the fuses/connections to the lights themselves, grounds and the relay connections. Still no juice. I feel like there I missing something-where the headlights connect together or something. If all the other lights are working I feel like I'm missing something simple but can't find where the bad connection is

Found the headlight issue
The issue is loose wire under the fuse box. I'll have tl take that off and sort.
