Low beams don't work
2000 Accord LX V6 Coupe.
Low beams stopped working yesterday. High beams work, by themselves. The low beam fuses are good, not that I'd expect both to fail at the same time.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I guess that there is always a chance that one headlight bulb failed and you didn't notice until the second light failed.
If you have a volt meter, you can unplug the low beam electrical connector, then turn on the low beams. See if you have 12V across the pins.

Sonofagun.
I did measure 12V across the right headlight. Replaced the bulb and ... the left bulb then lit. I replaced that, too.
Only question now is, the plastic snapped on the right side (before I touched it). It works, and the bulb is secure, but it's obviously broken. Is this easy to replace?

Most auto parts stores carry the 9006 sockets, a lot of them don't look exactly the same as the OEM one; but, functionally works the same. All you have to do is cut the wires on your harness and splice them in.
