If they went out one at a time, they should be "burnt out", and can be replaced with bulbs costing about $15 each.
If they both went "out" at once, it could be a relay or a fuse. Often that relay (and also the fuse) is under the hood. These is a plastic box, usually black, with an assortment of fuses and relays inside.
The fuse is easily replaced, however the relay may not be, and if you should buy one and that does not fix the problem, they are not normally returnable.
The problem might also be the switch ( usually called a "Multi-switch") which is either the lever on the steering column or the switch on/near the steering column attached to the stalk.
God bless you as you try to fix the problem.

Saturn what , ION , VUE , L300 LW300 ? Did you check the fuses ? 2.2 l headlamp relay . The lights are controlled by the BCM - body control module .
The headlamps may be turned ON 2 different ways. First, when the driver places the headlamp switch in the HEAD position, for normal operation. Second, with the headlamp switch placed in the AUTO position, during operation in low light conditions.
On vehicles with manual headlamps, the LH HDLP and RH HDLP fuse in the fuse block - underhood, supply battery positive voltage to both low beam lamps and high beam lamps at all times. The low beam and high beam circuits continue through the fuse block - underhood, through the body control module (BCM), and to the headlamp switch. The low beam or high beam circuit then, depending on the position of the dimmer switch, continues through the headlamp switch. When the headlamp switch is placed in the ON position, it provides a ground path for the low beam or high beam lamps through G203. The low beam and high beam circuits are monitored by the BCM.
I don't think this is a fuse problem ! more then likely a headlamp switch or dimmer switch or a ground problem or relay if your vehicle has 2.2l engine !

SOURCE: 2004 Outback: headlights stopped working.

either the headlight switch is defective or the dimmer is, it can't be anything else, do the hi beams work ok, have you tried wiggling the dimmer switch to see if the low beams flicker?

SOURCE: low beam headlights not working on 2004 Pontiac Montana extended

You headlight lamp have a diffuser mechanism which allows it to flip between the hight beam and low beam feature of the bulb. In fact, you high beam will function even if the low beam is not working.

I would recommend the purchase of the new headlight lamp. It would cost you you any where from $15.00 per unit to get a replacement lamp

SOURCE: 2004 elantra - front parking light replacement

The little parking light (also known as a city light) is in a plastic connector below the low beam lamp that simply slides out of the headlight assembly.

Grasp the plastic connector and pull back away from the headlight assembly and you will be able to unplug the light from the connector for replacement.

SOURCE: Low Beam Drivers Side doesn't work ... low voltage,

Power for the headlights on the Left side (High and low beam.) comes from the same fuse... The ORANGE wire and the ORANGE/BLACK are the same, they connect in the harness. If you only lack the 12v to make the light work connect them at the headlight assembly.

If your low beam also lacks ground the Left low beam ground is shared with the right low beam ground... Run a wire from left low beam DARK BLUE to right low beam DARK BLUE/WHITE.

If its not working now then your cursed, seek a witch doctor.

Hedlights don't work on 2004 f250

Its either the switch, the fuse, or the relay(s). Some have seperate relays for each headlamp. The odds of both lamps, hi and low beam, burning out at the same time are nil. Do the hi-beams work? Could also be the hi-beam switch is bad. Turn the light switch on, and jiggle or flip the lever and see what happens.

Saturn headlights not working

Check your dimmer switch. When a dimmer switch goes bad only one set of lights work being either the bright or the low beams.

My headlight low-beams don't work, yet the

I had a similar issue with a 92 Saturn SL1, were the problem wasn't anything easy. It ended up being that the wiring was so old and worn out (Somehow) that I ended up just buying the replacement light sockets with the wire leads and rebuilt the headlights to run off from toggle switches mounted on the dashboard.

The bright lights work on the truck, but the low beam, daytime burning lights have went out completely.

This is more than likely the cause of a bad relay. Check under the hood and find relays #45 and #46. Swap the relays and check for your low beam lights. If the low beams come on and the brights don't, you have found the problem and need a new relay. Should be about $40 at most part stores. If that doesn't solve the problem, you could pull the low beams and check if they both happened to burn out at the same time, but that is not very likely.

My high beam lights work but my lo beam lights don't,can you help me

When you switch from High to Low beams, do the lights go out, or continue, in the "High" beam position??? If they go go, the transfer switch, that changes the high/low beam mode is working. The most likely problem, is that the Low Beam filaments are both burned out. Some, on original equipment, never changed, can burn out within days/weeks of each other. Could be that.

Hello, I have a headlight problem on a 2004 chey calvalier. All of my lights work except low beam on drivers side. Fuses on left and right headlights are good. I've switched bulbs as well and nothing...

I would focus on the connections going to that head light for the low beam. I agree, it is not the switch, otherwise other side low beam would not be working. It is most likely bad bulb inlet( if it i separated bulbs for high and low) or it is the connection going to the low beam that operates it. Hope this helps. Don't waste your time on switch, it is not that.

Headlamps need adjustmentthey shine to close to the car even when on high beeam

The adjustment screws/nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly, behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail by the radiator support.

You will have vertical adjustment screws for each independent beam (separate highs and separate lows, but will be same screw if highs and lows are the same bulb). You may also have additional horizontal adjustment screws as well

Park your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same bulb, only do it for the lows)

For Low Beams: If the headlights read VOR, then aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall. If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.

For High Beams (if separate from low beams): Aim the headlight directly at the line you marked on the wall.
