Headlights Not Working

[cavallino5]

Both of my low beam headlights abruptly stopped working tonight. My first thought was a blown fuse, but in checking the manual there is no fuse listed for the headlights. Everything else is working properly and I have no warning indicators. Thoughts?

Bi-Xenons or halogen?

Dead bulbs if halogens?
Dead ballast or dead bulbs if xenons.

Did you check if you have power doing to the low beam socket (halo setup)
Does you city light works?

I have oem halogens.

What are the chances that both sides bulbs blew at the same time? I bet it's the switch or something malfunctioning

Phil, my city lights work. Everything's normal except low beams not coming on. They'd been working fine up until today and then this evening when I started the car they were out. I'll check the bulbs but the odds of both going simultaneously seem pretty slim, unless I've got some electrical gremlin. Really appreciate the help guys.

Keep us posted and while you checking the bulbs, check if power at the socket
What about high beams?

High beams work. Just the low beams that aren't functioning. What's the simplest way to check if there's power at the socket?

A fluke

AKA multimeter for those that are unaware. Fluke is just a brand name of high end electrical test equipment. You could also use a test light if that's all you have.
