Disconnect the bulbs and check for current at the connector with the Low Beams on to see if they are getting power up there. I know there is a relay to control the power, but I'm not sure where it is located.

I had the EXACT same problem as you do (drove me crazy trying to find the problem). Mine was a bad connection in a connector under the steering wheel column cover. Remove the cover and the connector in question was on top of the steering column. This connector goes to the multi-position switch on the column. I can send pics of the area if needed.

Glad that fixed your problem now get in there and check the connector if you haven't already. Mine didn't have a good connection and was arcing. Could be a potential fire hazard. Better check it just be on the safe side.
