headlight issue

Ok, all of a sudden my main headlights are not working. My brights and my fog lights work, but not the low beams. I find it highly doubtful that they both burned out at the same time. All my fuses look to be intact. Is there something else I'm missing here?

Looks like it could be the headlight dimmer switch. Checkout this link.

Check to see if you are getting power to the low beam lamps, I have actually seen both lamps burn out at the same time.

had the same proble on a 97 maxima, it was the dimmer. you could actualy put your finger on it and switch from low to high beam and feel it clicking, switched it with a new on and worked like a charm, i actualy changed both bulbs too because i thought they both burned out.

Ok, I want to check the dimmer switch, but I'm no good at wiring schematics. Is the dimmer switch the switch on the dash? Where is it?

The dimmer switch is actually the turn signal lever, or connected to it I should say. Try pulling it back towards, you, it should click. I sent you an e-mail about them, before I saw this.
