The engine starts fine and the high beams work fine, too. It's only the low beams that's the problem.

Probably corrosion in the connector that plugs onto the bulb. If you live in a winter-road-salt area that is a common cause. Try wiggling the connection to try to make better contact on it.

If it has daytime running lights, some of the voltage is dropped across a resistor during daylight hours to help the bulbs last longer, since they are on all the time.
Maybe the daytime running lights dimming module is bad, and the low beams aren't getting the full 12 volts.

what style of motor vehicle? 12 months, make and style. And state or u . s .? stupid questions you think of? NO, the regulation in many factors demands the motor vehicle to have 'headlights' of specific skill/brightness on considering a particular date- a number of those regulations are 1990 required dates. 'sunlight hours working lights' are according to threat 25 watts particularly of lowbeam 35 or 40 watts which at the instant are uncomplicated- while regulation grew to become into handed the minimum required brightness/skill grew to become into the backside lowbeam in use- approximately 25 watt/ 2.5 amp draw- interior the section the place regulations grew to become into being seen. a number of extra moderen headlights have a lowbeam of 25 watts for the criminal use, and a 50 to sixty 5 watt intense beam. different vehicles have separate bulb structures with a 25/30 watt 'working gentle' and a 40/65watt low/intense beam it is used at night alongside with the 'working' lights. eighty to a hundred watt 'utilising lights' are in another vehicles

There are some know issues with GM products related to dimming or flickering headlights. Also, if you have added any non-factory devices such as amplifiers or speaker boxes this can put additional strain on your car battery. I would take your battery to Auto Zone or somewhere they will usually test them for free.
Good Luck

Your battery might be about to bite it. I'd check the distilled water levels. They may be getting low. (It is an easy fix, just fill them with more distilled water. Be sure to follow your user's manual though.)
If this isn't the solution, follow the other suggestions above. Maybe the lights are about to burn out. Have them replaced.

maybe the headlight bulbs life span is at its later years...near busted in short.try to replace them with new ones & clean the lens. if you have tint in your car i suggest that you go for the lighter shades.Dark tints makes the lights from the bulb look dimmer.
