Hyundai Accent 2000 model
 

I have the above car, yesterday the headlights would not come on, high beam is functioning, all the operations on the control stalk work except it will not turn on the main (dipped) head lights, have checked all fuses, but to no avail, wanted to have a look at the wiring and connectors inside the steering column, have taken out all the retaining screws but cannot split the top and bottom casing to access whatever is living inside the steering column.

Many thanks
Denise

Did you check the bulbs?
