Both headlights have stopped working. Noticed I didn't have any high beams a while back and now the low beans don't work either. I checked the fuses and the bulbs, they are both okay. Any ideas what the problem is?

If both the R/L headlight relays are good the problem is coming from the smart entrance control unit behind center of dash.

Hello, I'm Danny,

You might be having a problem with the headlight relay. It is located in the relay box which is under hood on the right side of the engine compartment. Here is a tutorial showing how to test relays:

I've attached 2 pictures below of where the relay is located on your car. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
