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.
Oh wow, sorry to hear it. I am, however, hoping to have a better resolution. :o

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.

Yeah I think you hit the nail on the head with that one. Picked up a couple of bulbs and everything is fine.

I think I should subscribe more to the principle of Occam's razor.
