    So out of nowhere my low beams stopped working, both at the same time.

    Here's what I've done so far.

    1. Verify that the low beam bulbs were not broken (I'm assuming this is the same as a regular light bulb?) The filament was not broken inside?
    2. Replaced the headlight relay in the fusebox
    3. Check to see if any wiring was cut, etc.

    What should I check next?

    Was that easy to do? I think that's what I may need to do as nothing I've done has restored functionality.

    The hardest part is the torex screw that is a PIA to get to. Once you get the plastic molding off the wheel it is not that bad.
    You DO NOT have to remove parts of the dash like in some videos on youtube the cover can be pried apart and put back with using those plastic molding tools made for removing door panels. Once its off it is two screws and a plug.

    Well thankfully I won't need to do this as the lights started working again. I was working on it yesterday and I replaced a busted turn signal light. I then turned my attention back to the low beams and just moved the wires around, and for some reason or another when I was putting the bulbs back into the housing they started working again. No clue...

    and they stopped working again...Not at this same time though. Right one went out, then the left one went out maybe 5 or 10 minutes later.
