Default Both headlights out, several posts but no answers!

Hi Guys,
I see people have posted several times inquiring about both low beams being out but I have yet to find an answer to the question. My high beams work, fuses are both ok, BRAND NEW bulbs (less than a month old). Any ideas? Someone suggested some sort of switch. Where is this located and is it something I can check myself to see if its bad? Thanks!

Check for power on a gray/yellow or vice versa on the backside of the illumination control module (headlight switch) when you switch them on. Very vague..ill give u the actual pin in a few hours when im back ar work

My mistake. Check for power on a white/yellow wire when the headlights are turned on. The wire is in a 10 pin connector on the back of the switch in between a black/white ( with little blue sploches ) wire and a darkgrn/white wire. Also check the the same power on a tellow wire and a yellow/black. These 2 wires are in a 21 pin connector and are 2 pins away from eachother. Theyre fused by fuse 6 and 8 respectively.

Mine did that 2 months ago. Both low beams burnt out at the exact same time. Bought a new pair and have been peachy since.

Try putting the high beam bulb in the low beam socket since they're both H7. If it works, they just went bad. If not...

My advice if you can afford to spend 150 on HIDs from theretrofitsource.com, do it. It'll literally be the best investment you will ever do on this car in terms of lighting.

I've had multiple lowbeam bulbs go out on me, and after the 3rd one, I said screw it and went with HIDs on it. It's about 3 times brighter than even the silvestar ultras, and they will last around 5 years on one set of bulbs.
