x type jag dip beam problem

[DEKE]

I have 2002 plate X type 2.5 V6 and have lost my dipped beam, I have checked various fuses and relays and cant solve the problem, it all came about when I switched on the de mist and then the lights, main beam and everything else works. I have not yet tried the bulbs as thouigh as they both went out at once it would be a fuse. If any one out there could help I would be gratfull.

Could be the bulbs , mates pajero lost both dip beams ,tried fuses etc.
Bit of digging on internet forum suggests when one bulb went it somehow gave a slight over voltage to other one and blew that as well
sound daft I know but both bulbs had blown

Yep, that's more common than you'd guess at too as I had the same happen on my Beemer once.
When you consider bulbs start out as a pair and are often replaced as a pair, the other bulb is just as tired as the one which just gave up the ghost and a little extra oomph is enough to kill it

Thanks to all who replied, it was both bulbs and have replaced now with better bulbs lights are brighter than they were before.
