vector low beam headlights not working

[Yamaha Vector LTX GT 2009]

So here is what happened. A couple of days ago I started my vector and one of the high beam headlights was blown. Then a day or two later I went for a ride with it on low beam. Then the low beam bulb stoped working along with the high beam( So now on that one side high and low beam does not work). So today I took off the headlight gauge pod, and replaced the bulb that was blown. Pluged it in the snowmobile and now both low beam headlights is not working, But both high beams are working. Any ideas???

A few things to check
Hi/low switch
Headlight relay
Ground blocks

Where is the headlight relay and ground blocks located? And how do you check them?

A test light or ohm meter is a must for testing electrical. Using either of these you can test the headlight relay. Are you getting power to the headlight bulb connector?

So I went outside, and when the snowmobile was running the low beam was still not working. I was trying to get one of the black boxes open(by the right side foot area when sitting on the snowmobile) But I never did open the black box. So I put it back and started the snowmobile and it was still not working and then all of a sudden the low beam works fine.

probably corrosion in the relay. Replace it.

So even though it is working now you still think I should replace it? I checked how much the relay was, and they were only 18 dollars or so. So not bad. I might replace it in the summer time.

Just because the low beams are working again nothing was done to correct a problem so more than likely it will happen again. I'd start by replacing the relay and hopefully you won't continue to have issues.
