I was thinking that the fact they both stopped working at the same time was too much of a coincidence, but the cost of new bulbs makes the most sense to test first.

Cheers.

What tends to happen is that one bulb dies, you don't notice it, and then the other goes. Before buying new bulbs, you could pop one out to make sure.

With your, have you checked the bulbs? The most common reason for no low beams is that both bulbs have burned out their low beam filament.

sorry to bother you mate, I think this thread is the gold mine off the search on the internet, am still a bit baffled up from where to start from what I've been reading off your posts. I noticed our 2006 yaris/vitz has just had its dipped lights/ normal driving lights go off. Over the past weeks I noticed occasionally that the lights went off and on/ flickered a bit during driving but then back on and remained during the trip, which cautioned me but as long as they seem to be fixed I didnt worry much. but now they'er off, kinda the car's not drivable at night. I checked both 10A H/L fuses under the hood which are fine, and the under the dash fuse 10A termed d/L still fine. anything in particular that strikes your mind? all other lights do work.

Does your 2006 have HID headlights? If so, it may be the ballasts, as another person on here who has a set of imported headlights recently had the same thing happen and ended up having to replace the ballasts.

So, my wife and son come in from hockey practice and tell me that the hazard lights in our '08 started spontaneously flashing, accompanied by a fast "beeping sound". The doors were open and keys out of the ignition. Now my driver's side low beam and marker lights don't work. High beam does. Looks like I"ll be pressing my multimeter into service. Oh joy!
