low beam headlights not working

gday guys

could anyone help me with this problem, i have checked the two 10amp fuses under the bonnet but are intact, i think it could be the switch but dont want to replace it without maybe being able to check everything.
does anyone have some ideas of where to start and what to check.
thanks in advance
cheers josh.

I know this may sound crazy, but I have seen this twice. Try replacing one bulb and see if the lows work with the new bulb. I have seen on two trucks the low beams go out at the same exact time. I would love to know the odds of that as it has to be rare, however both times the high beams worked, but the lows didn't. It would be a good thing to check before you start tearing into everything. Just an idea.
