Default Weird Headlamp Issue ..... HELP PLZ!

Weird headlight issue. My Low beam lights don't work!!

hear are the facts:

-Both fog lamps work
-Both High beams work
-Both low-beam light fuses are still good. (15amp)
-Both lamp-motors still lift

So most of you are thinking what I was originally thinking! That I need new lamps. Derda! der! BUT,.. this is why I find my problem weird. Both went out AT THE SAME TIME,... AND those lamps are both not even a full year old.

What do you all think? Is it JUST me, ..because I thought it wasn't common for both lamps to take a crap at the same time.... OR could it be something else?

seems like you answered your own question with it being both low beams died. although it is wierd for both to go out at the same time its not impossible. I would check to see if there is something causing this problem though since u said they are under a year old. Such as excess vibration on the low beam brackets.

I don't know but I didn't want you to think you were out here alone I'm waiting for something like that to happen to mine. They seem to go off and back on for only a split second with no rhyme or reason to it. Doesn't happen when I hit a bump or when it's raining, only when it feels like it. I'm guessing a loose connection or a wire harness problem. John.
