lol, so you have done ZERO diagnostic work on it?

Both bulbs go out at the same time, or just one? You need to give us more info.

What kind of system do you have? Bi-Xenons? Have you checked the headlight fuses?

Default Xenon bulb

This reply is for cvcrcr.. I've done diagnostic work. Test the voltage on both headlights. And when ever I change the fuse. It pops. Now what??

IIRC, the fuse continously popping means the wrong fuse is in there, or there is a short in the wiring. By no means am I good with wiring. I hate it. This is the extent of my electrical knowledge pertaining to your issue. lol

-Obtain a wiring schematic for your car.
-Google/Youtube how read a wiring schematic.
-Buy a Multimeter.
-Google/Youtube how to use a multimeter.
-Test for continuity and chassis ground at the headlight wiring.

...if that's too much for you, no one here will be able to help you with your electrial woes.

Good luck!
