    This morning on the way in I noticed my neither of my low beams are working.

    Parking lights, blinkers, fog lamps, and high beams all work just fine. I pulled the driver side bulb and looked at, nothing visible to show that it's blown.

    Any ideas?

    it's possible to still be blown. Yes, they can blow at the same time. Did you check your fuses also?

    Have you checked the fuses yet? 15a for parking/aux lighting likes to go bad sometimes.

    Man, I wish I could afford a retrofit!

    I'm going out at lunch to check the fuses. Wasn't sure if it would be a fuse since the high beams work.

    If fuses are OK I change a bulb.

    Highbeams / lowbeams are a relay iirc, but there is a fuse inside the cabin that controls parking lights, rear tails, etc.

    ^^^Yeah, I know. Weird, right?

    We'll see if the new ones die an early death too.
