Only high beams work on '98 Odyssey

    A while back, the low beams quit working on my '98 Odyssey. I checked
    the obvious -- wiggled the connectors and looked for a blown fuse (I
    didn't see a separate fuse for high and low beams). Is there anything
    else I can check before assuming the hi/low switch is broken?

    If you've searched this newsgroup, and you're sure the filaments aren't
    burnt out, it's probably the low cut relay, which is above the gas
    pedal.

    Does this Odyssey have Daytime Running Lights? Whole different ball
    game.

    Both filaments wouldn't burn out simultaneously, would they? I'll check
    the relay first.
    No; I wish.

    Thanks!

    The can if the common wire burns out or breaks.

    No, but if you drove around with one burnt out, you'd certainly notice
    they were both dead when the second one conked out. I didn't catch on
    until I pulled up to the garage one night.

    Read previous posts about the correct to way to remove the lamps from
    their sockets...so you dont' wreck the connectors.

    No. They're not both on at the same time.

    By "both", I think the OP meant left and right, and not high and low.
    And yes, both left and right filaments can burn out within a very
    short period of each other, especially if there is a problem with
    the voltage regulator.
