Default Both Headlights Out (please help!!)

So I was just driving home and as I'm pulling into the driveway I notice that BOTH of my headlights are out. It's weird because the brights still work, as well as the foglights.

I originally figured to check the fuses. When I did, I see that there are NO fuses in the two spots where in the spot for what I think is the headlights..

I'm really stumped on this one, and have no idea what to think. Can anyone specify exactly where the headlight fuses are. And ANY ideas of why this might have happened would really help!!

I just checked and my tail lights do work. I don't see in on the diagram above, but on the fuse box closest to the firewall, I noticed that their is NO TCS fuse, or RT HDLP DR and LT HDLP DR(I think that's what the label said). I just got the car a couple months ago, and have no idea why these fuses are missing. Is this normal?

I did hit the brakes really hard on the way home, so I am wondering if these missing fuses might be the reason for this, seeing that the TCS fuse is missing???

the RT HDLP DR and LT HDLP DR are for Firebirds headlamp motors, would not be in a Camaro.

Do you have Traction Control(TCS) on your car??

Check the bulbs. I've lost both low beams at the same time once. It was after driving in rain, guess the alternator got wet because the volt gauge went to 17 volts and blew them out.
