Leaving the movie theatre tonight I found that neither of my headlights would work. I panicked at first and then realized that my high beams were working fine. Seems like a slim chance that both would go out at the same time. Is there a fuse for the low beams? I see that there is a 40 amp headlamp switch feed at the power distribution box. Any ideas?
 






There are not separate fuses for low beams and high beams. If your high beams are working, then there is probably not a power supply issue. Though it is a slim chance, it is possible that both burned out. Each bulb has two filaments in it. One for low beam and one for high beam. Best place to start would be to pull the bulbs out and do a visual inspection of the bulb/filaments.
 






That makes sense. Just seemed unlikely that both would go out at the same time. In the morning I will do a visual on both. Hopefully that's the issue! Thanks!
