Default Help! My headlights stopped working

So last night all of a sudden my headlights stopped working. My daytime running lamps were on though and my high beams worked. This morning my day time lamps stopped working too. I cant imagine that all 4 bulbs blew out at the same time. I checked the fuses under the hood and they were all fine. I replaced them anyway and still the problem persists. What could it be? Did I really blow all 4 lights at the same time?

I replaced the fuses. I cant imagine 4 different bulbs coming loose at the same time but I checked that too and they are fine.

There appears to be a fuse fro each side hi and each side low. I replaced all 4, no help.

try that reset function. it details it in the manual but it has to do with holding the key in a certain position for like 30 seconds.

what type of bulbs where you using, if aftermarket then you probably fried the low beams and then the problem got worst and decided to fry everything else. also have your headlight housing gotten foggy or has anything spill over the wiring?
