Check fuses and then buy new lights about $30 for two 7", 3 prong sealed beams... thats what i did and now all my light work...woot

do you have an aftermarket stereo??? of course you do =)
sometimes this is on the same fuse as the headlights and can botch a fuse up - i've had it before - cranked stereo that bit too loud and had no headlights... fuse looked fine, but i put a new one in "just to test" and it worked... hasnt done it since either.
The only other thing to check would be the earth wires arent corroded.

i dont think it could be the fuse's because there are only 2 of them for the lights and both the low beams went out but the high beam worked then they stoped one at a time so there would have to be 3 fuse's for that to happen

now im certainly no electrician but if its not the fuse could it be a relay problem?
i had a 'similar yet completely different' thing happen recently with my spotties; they wouldnt turn off; even with the ignition off! had to disconnect the wiring manually...auto elec then replaced the relay
