I had the same problem with my 2000, a wire had come loose on the socket and shorted out the head lights.

thank-you sir.

I picked up a couple bulbs and a universal socket and went to her work, just as it go dark. popped both lenses and low and behold there is the passenger bulb socket all black and crusty, replace the socket and bulbs, their was light.

1. thx i could have spent hours check fuses, grounds and relays.

2. i finally found something LR did right, the remove of the front lights.
all most every other car the bulbs change from the inside which means moving the air box, battery or a million hidden screws. it was kind of fun to just walk up and pop them out.
