My 2000 Subaru Outback low beam headlights are out (yes, both of them). The high beam, fog lights and parking lights all work. I looked at the fuses and none seem to be burned out. Any ideas?
Check the Headlight Switch. If your headlights come on automatically check the headlight sensor and its associated relay.
Replace both bulbs, Osram/sylvania is the manufacture, and are short lived bulbs. Don't get confused with the hi beam bulb there is one of each in the housing
I have a 00 OB too and have never had to replace bulbs like this
Hi again, so no low beams, so you have no daytime lights either correct?
I think all OB's have them. Although mine is a Limited. So there is something that switches the low beams from low to daytime (different brightness) This may just be a relay or other device/circuit. Check the relays in the fuse box under the hood, they are marked inside the box lid as the fuses are. I would look at mine but it's out tonight (teenagers)

Hi there,
If you have checked the fuses and they are not burned out, replace them. One could have went out a little bit before the other and you notice them at one time. That is not uncommon for low beam headlights to go out around the same time. Good luck and I hope you get it fixed. Let me know. Have a great night.~MWD

So, I should have added this. It's not the bulbs. I replaced both about three months ago and just put a new one in to see if that was the problem... nothing.
Both lights were dim so I changes them, twice, and still no improvement.
