Question both low beams went out @ same time

I own a '99 Toyota Solara and it seems that both low beams went out at the same time. Is this possible or could it be the Dimmer Relay? The high beams and fog lights both work along with the balance of the lights on the vehicle. HELP

Seems awfully odd that they went at the same time. You could always use a voltmeter to check the light sockets to see if they are getting power.

Also check the fuses, if that does not work^^^^ Odd how they both went out at the same time.

Dimmer Relay sounds like a good place to start ....
If you can find one at a salvage yard, you can confirm your guess ...
Also check the relay socket contacts for corrosion or oxidation ... invest in a spray can of electrical contact cleaner.
