I urgently need some help. I have no low beam on my GU Patrol. High beam works fine. All fuses are fine.

Does the high beam light show on the dash when on low beam? Shake and wiggle the connectors behind the lights. This fixed my problem.

Possibly an issue in the switch itself. I had a similar issue in mine, and a mate had the same in his. Pull the switch off, check the contacts for any blackness, and clean dirty contacts with a bit of fine sandpaper and some contact cleaner. Reassemble and see what happens.

There's no headlight relay in a GU patrol unless you have xenon lights, at least not in my 2010 GU VII.

Most likely culprit will be the switch, as it gets turned on and off a lot over a lifetime.

Check for 12V at the globes when you turn on the low beams, and if no voltage, then check the wiring out of the switch

Sounds like a loose wire if its not the switch. Have you been working under the hood?

Sounds like two blown low beam filaments, how did you check the globes?
