Front lights

I'm really don't know anything about cars, but I was driving home last night and all of a sudden my headlights went off... both of them at the same time. My Fogs, parking and high beams still worked though. Is it because my reagular lights burned out or is there something wrong with the wiring? I just found it peculiar, although I put them in at the same time, that they burn out at the exact same time. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

I have a few questions for you..1) Were they the stock/factory bulbs that went out or were they aftermarket?2) Have you done any modifications to the electrical system lately?3) Do you have another bulb to try to swap out to see if the bulbs are really burnt or if it is electrical-related?

1) They are Cool Blues not stock2) I ran some wiring about 2 months ago but they've worked fine since3) I think I still have my stock bulbs lyin around somewhere.It was two in the morning when I found out so I couldn't really test them out

I have a feeling the headlight fuse does not control fogs or parkign lamps...check the fuses in the engine fuse box...might've blown 'em.

Could it possibly be due to using H4's instead of 9003's? Don't H4's pull more current than the stock fuse can handle? Or am I just in La La land here?

Okay I put in my stock bulbs and they didn't work. Same deal: high beams, fogs and parking lights only...
