headlights out!!! HELP please!

so this morning i went to school and my headlights worked fine. then this evening i was driving to the gym and it was twilight outside, and i couldnt see very well. i turned on my fog lights and noticed that my low beams were not on. i tried to turn off the auto lights and just have them on manually, but they still didnt work. my high beams work fine. heres my question, is it possible that both headlights went out at the exact same time? or is it more likely that its a wiring problem / fuse? any suggestions / input would be great! thanks in advance.

check your fuses man.. that would be a good startin point then test at the fuses to see if you've got power there and if you do go down to the head light harness and check for power there..

if a fuse blew the car should still have high beams, so you shoulden't have lost all power.??
OOPS sorry didn't read the whole thing, yeah fuse

How are you sure they both went out at the exact same time? Maybe one's been out for a while now and the other one finally went.

It is, however unlikely, possible that they both went at the same time.

i had the opposite happen to my luminics.. the lows worked but the highs wouldn't work so i just swapped my stockers back in. got an extra set of bulbs you could swap in and see if that's the problem?

im pretty sure they both went out on the same night, because i had great light output all other times. i think i would have known if one went out before the other. as far as fuses go, can anyone point me in the right direction of where to look/ which one to try and replace?

i took out the fuses, and they were fine, then i replaced the bulbs, but still no low beams looks like ill be taking it to the dealer tomoro. thanks for the input guys.

most likely a wiring issue for lowbeams. headlights are wired in parrallel so that if one goes out the other will stay on. so, if both went out at the same time you may have a bad wire somewhere in there. with in seonds the tech will be able to tell if its a relay problem or something just by using the Tech2. so youl have an ansewer after a few minutes.
