High beams OUT

While driving to work this morning my high beams just shut off and only the dims will work. The indicator on the dash shows the highs to be on but nothing.
After work I check the fuses and they are ok. I think it might be a relay, but I swapped 2 alike relays but still nothing.
Need a little help PLEASE. I sure dont want to hit a donky or deer.
Thanks

Ok I FIGURED IT OUT MYSELF.
I took the switch apart looked at all the contacts. looked ok
Popped the caps off the relays, and had the misses turn the brights on while I looked at and tested the voltage in the relays. looked ok
Unplugged one of the lights at the bulb and it had voltage. Checked the other one. OK.
Found both bulbs burnt out. Weird both at the same time. Ran to checkers and picked up new bulbs. Every thing good know.
I guess 123,000 miles on a bulb is good.

Gald you got that sorted out, I was going to suggest that you check the bulbs... you know, the simple stuff first! I've seen these bulbs burn out pretty close to each other, but at the same time is rather strange.
