Hi all I have finally fixed all the other issues with my liberty it's running great now but only issue now is my headlights. I have no low beam on eather headlight both have high beam Parker's and indicators. I have check both low beam bulbs heather are blown I checked bothe relays and to 2 15 amp fuses under the bonnet neather are blown same as the 7.5 amp fuses in the cabin. I dunno what else to check any help would be great thanks.

So both low beams are out, not blown globes or fuses?
Do you have 12V at the plug on the low beam connector?
You hear relays click when the low beams are turned on?
I'm guessing you have standard halogen (with a filament) globes, and not HID's?
Considering each side is powered by a separate relay, and if everything else checks out, I'd be looking at plugs and wires.

Fault finding over the internet is difficult, but we'll try!

Cheers,
Ben

Yeah both low beams are out but bothe high beams are working same as Parker's are high and low beams on the same fuses/relays ?

Five separate circuits AFAIK. Get a hold of the gen4 schematics to prove it, but that's how gen3 runs, and I doubt they'd change something like that.

Ok I'll have a look I changed engine wiring harness over to my original one to get the engine running again I can't see anything unplugged but I'll go over it all again today Aswell

Can a relay or fuse go bad and only work one beam like not work on low beam but work on high beam ? I'm not the best with wiring and stuff cause I'm colour blind so try not to play around much with it even thow high beam is working still would it be worth swapping the relays over to new ones to see if that solves the issue I'm having and the fuses too ?

It could be the globes as the end of their service life - especially if you drive around all the time with the low beam on which is super easy to do in a Subaru since they turn off with the ignition switch. The filament may not be broken but it’s toasted so it doesn’t produce light any more. It will have a crusty kind of flaky metal look to it rather than a smooth coiled filament going by the eye check.

I’d try a known good globe to rule them out as the issue or prove that they are the issue

pull the bulbs and check if there's electrickery at the bulb contacts.

 

Work your way backwards from there.

Problem fixed both bulbs have been replaced and there working must of been an issue with them I used a test light on the connector that plugs intl the globe and turn the switch on and off and the connector came on and off so I replaced the globes and we have low beam light again thanks guys for all your help here been a pleasure chatting with you all. Absolute legends.
