Default low beams help

i was driving last night and switched on my hi beans, and when i turned low beams back on they stopped working. only the hi beams and parking lights and tail lights work but no low beams. i checked fuses and relay and they are ok. any suggestions would be great. thanks.
the car is a 2003 honda civic ex

welcome to the forum. My son's 02 civic did the same thing, he went to high beam and then to low, and no lights, found both low beams on our case to be burnt out. Replace both bulbs and got good low beams. Also check for good ground and good contact. Our ground and contact were good and clean. bulbs in our case burnt out.

thanks for input. its a strange coincidence that both bulbs would blow at the same exact time but its the only thing that makes sence. i'll give it a try hopefully thats all that wrong. thanks again.
