Neither of my front lowbeam headlights are lighting.
All other exterior lights are operating, including the highbeams. I replaced the lowbeam bulbs, and I checked the left and right headlight fuses. All or good.
Any ideas what my problem is?

When you were testing, did you check for voltage and ground at the lamp connector, when you turn on the low beams?

When you check fuses, you also have to check the circuit, where the fuse plugs in, if the circuit is dead, a good fuse won't do you any good.

On the RH low beam, the yellow is ground and the other should be voltage. The dimmer switch is part of the ground circuit. My information also shows a headlamp ground relay. I'm not saying replace anything, just do some testing.
