Help: Both Xenon Headlights not Working
Went out to drive my car this evening and noticed both headlights are out. All of the other lights work fine, and the two headlight fuses are OK. I searched but found no cases like this.

What happens when you toggle the high beam / low beam stalk, both pushing and pulling?

I had a similar problem with mine and it was the headlight switch.

I rotated the switch a few times and the lights came on and seem to be working fine now. Do you think the headlight switch may still go out?

Yes, it will fail again and you should replace it before you get stranded.

It happened to me last year, my headlights were intermittently on/off. I replaced with the new light switch and problem gone.

Cory,
Man, you really stuck your neck out on this one by waiting until after the OP posted additional info about messing with the light switch!

Oh, I forgot to tell you what the prize is...... since you won, you get to post a pic of your car in this thread.
If you post the pic, you might actually get your choice of a free mod! I'll be watching....
