I noticed this weekend my headlights were out. However, the brights work just fine and both headlights went out at the same time. So, I don't think it could be the bulbs. I checked all my under-hood fuses. I don't think the interior fuses would cause this problem. I rotated around all of my light relays w/ the horn relay, which I know works, and still the low beams will not turn on.

Does anyone know what might be causing this or how I can further trouble shoot the issue. Thanks.

Talk about over thinking the problem.. Just take the damn bulbs out and look at them.. I've seen both low beam bulbs go out at the same time before.. After you're done replacing the bulbs, find out why they both went out at the same time.. I usually find that the alternator is overcharging like at 16V or so.. When that happens, the excess voltage has to go somewhere, and that somewhere is your low beam bulbs because that's mostly used..

Wow, PnX-R is a genious. It was exactly that, both bulbs burnt out at the same time. One actually popped. I did check the alternator and the output was just over 14v. I'll chalk this one up to a corroded battry terminal until it happens again, lol.
