Default Low beams stopped working WTF!!!

ok i just went outside b/c i planned on leaving but i turn on my lowbeams and they dont come on wtf? my parking lights turn signals and highbeams come on, but no lowbeams. Its too dark for me to go mess with it right now, but what's the first thing i should check for in the morning? a fuse or anything? i figure it shouldnt be the bulbs b/c they would have had to burn out at the exact same time. HHEELLPP MMEE PPLLEEASEEE!!! thanks in advance :-)

Fuse.... There are fuses in the box beside the battery and fuses under the dash as well... I'd gamble on them being inside the engine bay fuse box... one the inside of both the lids are guides to the fuses to help you out!

hmm.. both lights are on different fuses though timmy..
#2 is for the right one
#3 is for the left one
for both lowbeams.

the probability that both blew out at the same time is possible.. as it has happened to me before.

check your fuses.. then your bulbs.

wow, i checked the fuses, both ok........ checked the bulbs...... both burnt. Well, i have the projectors and it uses h1 bulbs, so i purchased luminics ultrawhite h1s to replace teh stoick h1's. the bulb itself looks like its 10 years old and the metal piece right under the bulb is burnt black. wtf? its been like 3 months? ne ways i put the stock h1 bulbs back in and all is well. So what are teh chances of both bulbs going out at the same time?

^^ oops ... i meant when i said both blew... i meant the BULBS... not the fuses

yeah... i've had both BULBS blow out on me at the same time before. not because of me touching them or anything.... just their lifetime happened to be the exact same moment....

odds of that happening? i guess better than alot of us think.
